Taking their ideas from defence mechanisms found in plants such as the lotus leaf, the 'High Throughput Laser Texturing of Self-Cleaning and Antibacterial Surfaces', or 'TresClean' project, has made a breakthrough that will enable the production of self-cleaning sheet metal on an industrial scale for the first time.
