Laser altered surface treatment to create a superhydrophobic stainless steel?

[Diveflyfish]

The concept of laser altered surface treatment to create a superhydrophobic surface is interesting.
Perhaps the latest portable rust removal type lasers could be programmed to create such invisible surface alterations ? All thoughts welcomed. Just trying to find out of the box solutions for not only fingerprints but aiding in extending range by perhaps decreasing drag as well. Thinking out loud, perhaps the clear protective film could be laser modified at a much lower energy level and thus be applied?

Now if you could get a device like the below to create the above surface modification …………

I found the perfect solution to the problem of finger prints on my Cybertruck...

Don't touch the stainless with your fingers. It works!

Ah, yes! Clever indeed!! Eureka!! Portable door handle!! https://a.co/d/46fZoPA

But Elon took away our door handles!!

That Superhydrophobic surface is interesting. It absorbs light... and repels water.

That laser cleaner looks crazy dangerous, but it would be fun to try. And the laser weld looked pretty good. So, then he strapped it to a chainsaw...

Wow

Check out those fingerprints

If you believe you need doorhandles, the solution is so simple it's ridiculous!

Buy one of the hundreds of trucks with door handles! I can't believe people think it needs handles, it opens easily without touching the exterior, if fingerprints bother you that much, just kick the door closed with a sharp kick from your heel as you turn around to walk away, you're not going to hurt it and you might get some "she really doesn't give a shit" bonus kudos.

There were fingerprints?

lol!
Reminds me of styropyro's laser weapon. I want one of these on a gantry on my CT roof:



Perfect weapon for a firebug that loves backburning.

Styropyro is a hoot and genius. His work is a sublime merging of physics, chemistry and spot on humor. Perhaps there are more kindred spirits here !
