A Bathroom That Cleans Itself

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the forget-bathrooms-lets-talk-about-cubes dept.

FiReaNGeL writes "Researchers at the University of New South Wales are developing new coatings they hope will be used for self-cleaning surfaces in hospitals and the home. It's made of a special nanoparticle coating that absorbs ultraviolet light below a certain wavelength and gives the particles an oxidizing quality stronger than any commercial bleach. Say goodbye to tedious bathroom cleaning!"

    Great, another discovery/breakthrough that won't affect us in the forseeable future. For many years slashdot has featured vaporbreakthroughs, some of which have to had made their way to consumers. What I'd like to see is a segment of slashdot devoted to these breakthroughs with tracking them with updates on whether or not we've got the 45 micron chip on the market or the space elevator up or did the Japs finish their supersonic jet yet. Otherwise these stories are food for thought that vaporize.
