Video: New Super-Waterproof Material Makes Water Drops Bounce Off
• http://www.popsci.com, By Francie DiepThe video above comes from the work of a team of materials scientists from the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York. The team created a new, super-waterproof material by engineering a surface with particular nano-scale structures. Scientists are continually looking to make waterproof materials that can coat boat hulls, car parts and medical devices. Such coatings, which are technically called super-hydrophobic coatings, help keep vehicles and devices clear of ice, algae and other unwanted stuff.
