Hierarchically textured surfaces that can repel essentially all liquids, including different oils and alcohols, can be fabricated by a method that is described by A. Tuteja et al. in their Communication on page 13007 ff. As these superomniphobic surfaces are also transparent, they might find applications as smartphone screens, eye glasses, windshields, or flat panel displays. The image shows colored droplets of water on top of a transparent superomniphobic surface.
