Superhydrophobic Spray.

$10 to anyone who knew what that meant before reading this post.  Ross Technology Corp, a company that focuses on steel products has created a new product based on the spray known as NeverWet – which aside from being useful, is also pretty cool.  Now, this doesn’t seem particularly interesting, but it is (at least if you ask me; it is built from nanoparticles and it is hydrophobic) not only that it stops water from wetting it, but it shoots water right off from the surface on which it was applied.  Even if at first they wanted to apply this technology to steel, they quickly realized the enormous list of applications this can have, from shoes and clothes that wouldn’t require washing any more, to your phone that could become waterproof, or just on stuff that you don’t want bacteria to get on.  This spray will be released as a commercial product next year. Check out this video to see exactly how it works.
