A new superhydrophobic coating maintains its water repellency even after thousands of cycles of stretching (Nano Lett. 2014, DOI: 10.1021/nl5019782). The coating works on a variety of surfaces and ...
Like most things, ice can be a blessing or a burden depending on the circumstances. It’s perfect crushed in a drink on a hot summer’s day, but can wreak havoc when it collects on roads, power lines ...
The amazing water-shedding ability of the lotus leaf has long inspired materials scientists. The leaf’s wax-coated microstructures cause rain droplets to bounce off the surface, carrying away with ...
A superhydrophobic spray-on coating set to launch next year could dramatically change our perception of the phrase "water resistant." NeverWet is a patent-pending silicon-based covering that deflects ...
Scientists are developing a low-cost, transparent, anti-soiling coating for solar reflectors to optimize energy efficiency while lowering operating and maintenance costs and avoiding negative ...
In an article published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers presented the potentiostatic deposition used to electrodeposit nickel (Ni) and nickel-graphene (Ni-G) films on copper substrates.
New spray-on, nanotech coatings could keep iPod screens from scratching, make paper products waterproof and perform other minor modern miracles. And because they are cheaper, easier to apply and more ...
