Superhydrophobic Si nanowires for enhanced condensation heat transfer
TLDR
In this paper, heat transfer on super-hydrophobic Si nanowire (SiNW) array-coated surface was investigated and it was shown that SHB surface could have a superior heat and mass transfer performance than hydrophobic surface provided that the liquid droplets on the SHB could be shed away efficiently.About:

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.

Superhydrophobic surfaces: from structural control to functional application
TL;DR: A superhydrophobic surface is a surface with a water contact angle close to or higher than 150° as discussed by the authors, and it is the combination of surface roughness and low-surface-energy modification that leads to super-hydrophobicity.
