Materials that resist getting wet have many possible applications, from self-cleaning windows to liquid-repellent textiles, and surfaces that repel water are easily made and well-understood. Creating materials that repel organic, nonpolar liquids such as alkanes — which have lower surface tension than water — has proved problematic.
