     The key to long [battery] life is a property superhydrophobicity. This occurs when a drop of electorlyte or other liquid sits on top of a roughened nanostructured surface instead of wetting it. Zap the droplet with a burst of electricity or heat, however, and it wets the surface in a matter of milliseconds.
