Ion Mask provides protective layer
Posted on Dec 31, 07 06:14 PM PDT
Researchers in Britain have developed the Ion Mask, a solution that claims to repel both water and oil molecules. One practical use of this development would be to coat cellphones with the Ion Mask, ensuring that the next time you drop your handset into the loo, there is no need to worry about purchasing a brand new phone after that. Ion Mask makers are currently in talks with a trio of cellphone manufacturers, hoping to come to an agreement to coat their handsets with the solution. Either that, or you could always pick up one of those bulky waterproof cellphones. The image you see on the right doesn’t use the Ion Mask as it is just there for illustrative purposes.
