Nanoparticles Make Surface Too Slippery For Bacteria To Hold

Monday, December 29th, 2008

The researchers adopted polishing technology used in the semiconductor industry (chemical mechanical planarization) to polish the surface of human teeth down to nanoscale roughness. Roughness left on the tooth after the polishing is just a few nanometers, which is one-billionth of a meter or about 100,000 times smaller than a grain of sand.

Bye bye tooth [...]

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Holy shit, you can actually bounce a water in a superhydrophobic (whatever) surface!

Ok, I googled it. Superhydrophobic are materials that have surfaces that are extremely difficult to wet. So, the water will somehow resist this kind material.
