Well, not exactly like Teflon, but something called an omniphobic coating.
It can repel water, oil, alcohol and even peanut butter. And it might save the U.S. Navy millions of dollars in ship fuel costs, reduce the amount of energy that vessels consume and improve operational efficiency.
Seems it and other stuff to reduce rust, deflect barnacles, and make ice removal a cinch are in the works and should be ready in a year or so.
