Researchers working with nanotech have created what may be a super-waterproof material that causes the liquid to slide right off the surface with very little friction. Further, additional research ...

We already mimic them to make fly-fishing lures. But now scientists working on some advanced medical technology believe copycatting one tiny insect could hold promise for repairing human tissues and ...

We were sent up a mountain with only a sheet of cloth and a few natural materials to make a waterproof tent. Being on the rugged west coast of New Zealand's South Island, we were likely to come across ...

I've spent the last few months trying to figure out why my big family tent was leaking. Not the most geeky of questions you may think, but over the course of my investigation I've become something of ...

In the video above, you can see artificial raindrops bouncing off a surface treated with a new kind of waterproof coating, a paint made from coated titanium dioxide nanoparticles. The researchers who ...

In just three minutes, the laser printing approach can produce a 10x10 cm smart textile patch that's waterproof, stretchable and easily integrated with solar or other sources of power. The next ...

A new process could provide a nontoxic alternative to conventional waterproof coatings for fabrics. Fabrics that resist water are essential for everything from rainwear to military tents, but ...
