NeverWet released in US, our first real force field?

I can't believe what I'm seeing, it's like Jetsons magic come alive!

 

 

Will they one day be able to do this with blades or bullets?

 

These guys will make billions

Mind-blowing But now that you mention the bullets, couldn't they just spray that coating on some bullets to makes them go through water? The coating would repel the water around the bullet, propelling it forward with no resistance?

If we sprayed it on our hair, would rain just bounce away?

Interesting to see this "technology" (stolen from Nature, ofc) finding its way to the mass market.

 

The coating is actually very tiny hairlike structures that H₂O molecules cannot fall in between, creating the waterproof effect.

 

Not too sure if the coating would work for bullets, though. It is the density of the water (molecules per cubic inch, etc) that inhibits things moving thru liquids (or plasmas, if you're into those...)

Entirely correct, I seem to have left the chemistry/physics module at home today
