New waterproof surface is driest ever US engineers have created - TopicsExpress

New waterproof surface is driest ever US engineers have created the most waterproof material ever - inspired by nasturtium leaves and butterfly wings. The new super-hydrophobic surface could keep clothes dry and stop aircraft engines icing over, they say. The lotus leaf was thought to be the gold standard for staying dry in nature, but now a team from MIT in Boston say they have surpassed it. By adding tiny ridges to a silicon surface, they made water bounce off it 40% faster than the previous limit. Similar ridges are found in nature on the wings of the Morpho butterfly and the veins of nasturtium leaves. By applying these patterns to metals, fabrics and ceramics, the scientists hope to inspire a new generation of moisture-resistant products - from tents to wind turbines.
