Insights into the wettability transition of nanosecond laser ablated surface under ambient air exposure
TL;DR: This work extensively discussed why the laser-induced freshly outer layer was super-hydrophilic and how the airborne hydrocarbons were chemisorbed and further guides industry to effectively modify surface chemistry to reduce wettability transition period and rapidly produce stable and durable super-Hydrophobic surfaces.

Patterned Superhydrophobic Metallic Surfaces
TL;DR: This work shows that after creating certain dual scale roughness structures by femtosecond laser irradiation different metal alloys initially show superhydrophilic behavior with complete wetting of the structured surface, however, over time, these surfaces become nearly super Hydrophobic with contact angles in the vicinity of 150 degrees and superHydrophobicwith contact angles above 150 degrees.
