TED: One very dry demo | Mark Shaw

The video explores the exciting world of nanotechnology, focusing on its superhydrophobic properties. It demonstrates how a nanotechnology spray can transform materials like cinder blocks and gloves into water-repellent surfaces. The video explains the science behind superhydrophobicity, including the role of nanoparticles and air layers. It also highlights the potential applications of nanotechnology, such as anti-wetting, anti-icing, anti-corrosion, and self-cleaning. Through various demonstrations, the video showcases the practical benefits of nanotechnology in everyday life.

Describe the significance of measuring in nanometers in the context of nanotechnology.

What happens to water when it comes into contact with the coated surfaces?

Discuss the relationship between water and ice as mentioned in the text.
