If the surface of your mobile phone is made of self-cleaning glass, it will be immune to water, dust and stains.

Type of glass against dirt is new invention Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S., LiveScience said. Not only prevent the adhesion, it also eliminate the phenomenon of light reflection. Recipes of new glass is still a secret, but according to the MIT site, their glass is created by the conical element nanoscale - that is, the smaller diameter of from 1,000 to 100,000 times the diameter of human hair.
Waterproof surface of many objects in nature - as the lotus - an inspiration to all of MIT researchers fabricated glass anti-adhesion. The team's calculations show that their glass can prevent the adhesion of frost, rain, pollen and even stains that left by hand.
The advent of self-cleaning glass is good news for those companies producing solar panels. Currently many solar batteries only 60% efficiency, meaning they can only make 60% of the sun light into electricity. Dirt, stains and light reflection phenomenon on the surface panels is causing a loss of sunlight. If the surface of solar panels is made of glass of MIT, the amount of sunlight loss is greatly reduced.
Some experts believe that, if production costs are lowered sufficiently, it is possible to use glass anti-glare and anti-contamination of MIT to make the camera's screen, mobile phones, computers tables and other devices. |
