Researchers from the Cavendish Laboratories, University of Cambridge, mimicked a self-cleaning film on Mott’s eyes and combined it with titan-dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 nanocrystals), which seems increasing significantly effectiveness and sealing of surfaces, including different materials, (e.g.glass).
This may lead to a revolution sealing surfaces in many aspects of industry, as well as medical devices and surgical instruments.
