Nanotech Coating Prevents Fogging
MilSF1 writes "MIT scientists have applied for a patent on a coating process that reduces or eliminates fogging on glass surfaces (car windshields, eyeglasses, etc). The new coating was described today at the 230th national meeting of the American Chemical Society."
I, for one, don't have glass lenses. Normally, that's a good thing, as it keeps me from getting shards in my eyes as much, but now I'm not so sure.
Note to mods: I'm probably being sarcastic.
XP + Nanotech coating = Transparent Windows! Probly explains the long delay in releasing LongHorn...

Develop a coating for glasses that prevents greasy smudging from eating chips and other junk food. The anti-fogging stuff sounds OK for a nasal spray straight to the brain on those mornings after.
I won't believe any of this until there is a Podcast released on it.
MIT scientists have applied for a patent on a coating process that reduces or eliminates fogging on glass surfaces. The new coating consists of a highly acidic chemical that melts the glass into a thick green goo. While the glass (now known as green goo) possesses none of its original qualities including transparency, it has also been shown to provide a 5% or greater resistance to fog.

I use an electric razor, you insensitive clod.
