A team from UNIGE has successfully replicated a nanoscale coating on different surfaces, mimicking the natural anti-reflective and anti-adhesive properties of fly eyes. The coating consists of two ingredients: retinin and corneal wax, which work together to generate a regular network of protuberances.
