Water going uphill? Cool!

CrunchGear is reporting on research just published by some scientists from the University of Rochester.  They've been able to get water to naturally go UPHILL.  Yup, no extra power or assistance required.

How'd they do it?  Well basically they made a silicon surface more attractive to water molecules than to themselves.  So each molecule is basically fighting to get closer to the silicon than the others.  The result is speeds of up to 3.5 per second.

The best part is that they used lasers to do it! Hell yeah, more lasers is always a good thing.
Oh, don't expect this to be commercialized any time soon. But that means we can dream!
