"microstructures including their properties fabricated on metal surfaces... EV-chiseling cutting method's feeding direction generates metallic microstructures with ultra-high aspect ratio making them slightly larger and easier to work with... manufacturing cutting chips usually turned into waste after processing. but now useful by changing processing parameters producing various kinds of microstructures transformed directly through the chips: enhanced heat transfer, hydrophobicity, (anti-icing), antibacterial"
