Nanotech coating keeps out the water, but not the air

Spanish nanotech company TECNAN is offering a nanoparticle-based coating that repels liquid, yet still allows the underlying material to breathe.

The hydrophobic coating, known as TECNADIS, is made by suspending nanoparticles in a liquid carrier – the identity of those particles is a trade secret, although by altering their concentration, the properties of the coating can be fine-tuned for different applications. When applied to materials such as concrete, ceramic, brick, stone or wood, TECNADIS causes any liquid subsequently applied to them to bead up and roll off instead of soaking in. It doesn’t completely seal their pores, however, so air can still pass in and out of them, minimizing moisture retention-related problems such as mold.

The coating is completely transparent, and reportedly won’t change the color or surface texture of materials. It stands up to regular cleaning methods, along with UV light exposure, and is said to remain effective for over ten years.

Real-life transforming robot car puts Hasbro toys to shame

For once, we’re using the word “Transformer” to mean exactly what you’d expect: not a tablet, toy, lawsuit, video game, or movie. No, this is a small car that automatically turns into a genuine working robot, does so with speed and grace you’ve only dreamed of before, and then proceeds to punch and uppercut its way through any would-be Decepticons.

Swiss adventurer and aviator Yves Rossy, also known as “Jetman,” flew over the spectacular skyline of Rio de Janeiro. He launched himself by jumping out of a helicopter and then engaged the pack’s four jet engines. Traveling at speeds up to 186 miles per hour, he flew over Ipanema, Copacabana, past Sugar Loaf Mountain and buzzed Brazil’s famous Christ the Redeemer statue before cutting the engines and deploying a parachute.
