From the first example and PhD student William Wong of the Nanotechnology Research Laboratory at the Australian National University Research School of Engineering, "The surface is a layer of nanoparticles which water slides off as if it's on a hot barbecue."
Sure, and someone says nanoparticles to me so what should I think but, of course, barbecues. These types of bizarre associations are why they're flying in the stratosphere and we're down here watching. That's ok as all of us seek to fly up there for one reason or another, maybe more than one, but we can't fly in all of them so being a fan can be a great thing. That's why I got into making music in the first place. Now I can make music but I still enjoy being a fan of others as much as ever. For me it's the joy in sharing part of the experience when someone does something really well and that applies to physics as it does with music.
Here's the abstract for the article and that goes into some depth on the applications for this type of waterproofing. (Science Daily: New material to revolutionize water proofing)
Other scientists are reviewing the structural mechanics of a dragon tree because they can do incredibly detailed analyses of the load-bearing / non-load-bearing states of the dragon tree and this provides novel insights into possible applications in construction with lighter, stronger materials, etc. (Science Daily: Deriving inspiration from the dragon tree)
There's a too subtle editorial in the background that Republicans need to stand down and stay out of the way. Perhaps you have heard them discussing climate change and surely this makes it clear to you they have no more knowledge of science than kids playing pick-up games of marbles. When they subvert reason in due diligence regarding moving too quickly on something and then replace it with political posturing and grandstanding for the unwashed masses, it's not due diligence but simple vandalism. That's been Paul Ryan's stock in trade but, unlike Banksy, he brings no art to it.
Scientists should never be governed by Republicans and if they have any luck at all they will never even have to waste time talking with Republicans, particularly not the Dixiecrats, regardless of which political wind they claim to follow, think they follow, etc and, hey, y'all, wanna see me lure a catfish with my penis.
Keep your pants on, Jethro. It's not that big a trick, if you take my meaning.
Note: the above does not revert in any way the long-time thinking there needs to be an ethics review board to consider the really edgy aspects of scientific research. That, in no way, means including Republicans who pose and prattle but demonstrate little practical knowledge. It does include, however, high end conservatives such as at least one order of Catholic priests / brothers who are known for that. We need to present rational discussion to scientists and that specifically excludes Congressional Republicans ... and most Democrats, for that matter. Just keep the crap ass politics out of it. The business is reason not gamesmanship.
Just because we love you, how about we get entirely un-scientific but fantastically insightful from Trae Crowder, the Liberal Redneck, when he talks about drugs. Don't be put off by preconceptions as Mr Crowder is one exceptionally bright individual and we do love his perceptivity / style.
All together now, Hosea Uh Uh Uh Hooligans ... remarkable perspicacity, Watson!
