    Could someone tell me if there is a material out there that rising steam will not condense onto?

    Thanks

    hazarding a guess.. Teflon?

    or else a thin sponge that will absorb a little water instead of having the condensation on the surface?

    A hot one.
    100C+ should do it.

    Something with a low heat capacity, so its temperature rapidly matches the environment. A metal, like aluminium or stainless steel might gather less condensation, but "none" is a bit unrealistic IMHO?

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    +1, the steam condenses because of the temperature difference between it and the material, not because of the material type. The condensate might look different on different materials, but that's just down to the surface finish, whether it's hydrophobic/hydrophilic etc.

    the stuff that riot helmets are made of, well just the visor part anyway. They dont fog up when you breathe on them.

    Perhaps motorbike helmet visors as well
