"Nano-turf," a new nanoscale material composed of teensy spikes is planned for use as a super nonstick coating for submarines ("which would glide through the water with much less resistance") and raincoats ("rain would fall and simply run off any garment").
"The surface is repelling water. It is densely populated so it will let the water flow against air instead of a solid surface, which makes it very slippery.
"When we roll a drop of water on this surface, we make it 99%, or more, less sticky than the flat surface."
(via Die Puny Humans)
