Easy-to-use nano-coating sprays have been designed with optical, electronic, biological properties, etc to cover surfaces. Scientists have managed to improve and extend their technique of “layer by ...

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 ...

I have always thought that showers were self-cleaning. They are, after all, splashed liberally with water on a daily basis. When I mentioned this to the Lady, though, she pointed out that things in ...

Thermochromic nano-coatings employed appropriately can help reduce energy usage and generate savings. The coatings either absorb heat or permit its reflection, depending on their temperature.

As many a fancy-refrigerator-owner will know, fingerprints tend to be highly visible on stainless steel. A new transparent coating could help, however, as it goes about reducing the appearance of ...

A team of scientists from the Eindhoven University of Technology have developed a coating with a surface that repairs itself after damage. Based upon the same principles as hydrophobic surfaces, the ...

Resilin-based antibacterial nano-coatings can completely block bacteria from attaching to a surface. A collaborative team, led by researchers at RMIT University (Melbourne, Australia), has developed ...

Soon you won’t have to worry about your phone falling in the toilet, tumbling into a puddle or someone inadvertently dribbling coffee into the headphone socket (we’ve all done it). British-based firm ...

Liquipel isn’t the only company pushing water-repellent nano-coating: UK-based P2i demonstrated the impressive powers of its Aridion nanotechnology at CES this year. P2i’s Aridion nanotechnology is a ...

Printed circuit board assemblies can be reliably protected with parylene coatings. Protective thin-film and nano coatings are being incorporated into the manufacturing process to improve the ...
