Nanotechnology for glass that does not fog or mirrored


Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have applied for a patent on a method by which glass or other transparent material can be processed so that it neither reflects nor fog. The journal ACS Nano, two scientists stated that if it were a method to coat the surface with "nano journals". Here, the upper layers of the material would be treated with an etching process, leaving only the 200 nm wide and 1000 nm high nano-cones remained. These nano-coating prevents any reflection and let drops of water bounce off. Here, the water would still like to contribute to cleaning the surface instead of the fog.
         Suitable application could find such a method of computer monitors, for example, in displays of iPad, iPod, iPhone, MacBook, or even with optical lenses of cameras and other devices. Even outside of the electronic area, there would be beneficial uses, such as for glasses and car windows.
