Antifogging Nanostructured coating for glass

A new way of creating surface textures on glass, developed by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), virtually eliminates reflections, producing glass that is almost unrecognizable because of its absence of glare—and whose surface causes water droplets to bounce right off.

Composite self-assembling nanowires

Researchers from CNRS and the Université de Strasbourg, headed by Nicolas Giuseppone and Bernard Doudin, have succeeded in making highly conductive plastic fibers that are only several nanometers thick. These nanowires, for which CNRS has filed a patent, “self-assemble” when triggered by a flash of light. R&D Daily Apr.23,2012
