I know they were tight on money and time, but the folks who build the Phoenix Mars lander really should have coated the scoop with polytetrafluoroethylene.

They're having problems with the soil and ice samples sticking in the scoop.

I'm hoping the stickiness is due to filamentous bacteria or fungal rhizomes.
