Nanotechnology and Chocolate Sauce - The Battle Escalates

Water is a cruel moistress. On one hand, we’re mostly made of the stuff. Our biology depends on it, and most of Earth’s chemistry takes place in aqueous environments. It’s water all the way down.

On the other hand it can really ruin your day. Corrosion, contamination, stains, dead iPhones … they can all be attributed to the fact that water sticks to stuff, and stuff sticks to water. But hydrophobic surfaces repel water. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could make say, a pair of nice expensive shoes, completely hydrophobic?

A cool product called NeverWet looks like it can do just that. By coating surfaces with special nanoparticles, they become superhydrophobic. Water just falls right off, as does oil, ketchup and mud. Or anything else.

The video above is pretty amazing. Here it is on clothes. And here’s what your finger would look like if it was superhydrophobic.
