Nanosurface [Repels/Attracts] [Oil/Water/Dirt] (and Conducts Electricity Too)

They could also make the surfaces attract or repel oil. And given the right materials, the fibers can even conduct electricity.

The potential applications are numerous. For example, if the fibers repel water, oil and dirt, then they’d create almost self-cleaning surfaces; windows would stay clear longer.

By making them attractive, they’d make a good anti-fog coating, since they’d pull at water droplets and make them flatten out on a surface.

Or what about this?

“… researchers found that the attracting surface does the same thing to coiled-up strands of DNA. When they put droplets of water containing DNA on the fibers, the strands uncoiled and hung suspended from the fibers like clotheslines.”

Since they can conduct electricity, organic LEDs can be embedded in the surface and powered without wires.
