Nokia smartphones will repel water like a lotus leaf

The technology allows the surface of the phone push the moisture already in the market. Such materials exhibit Liquipel and HzO at all major shows of recent times. Decided to go a different way by Nokia, as the vice-president of the company in Western Europe, Conor Pierce (Conor Pierce, Vice President of Nokia Western Europe). He said the company's group of researchers at Cambridge have managed to create its own unique solution, which he called "superhydrophobic technology." It allows fluids literally disappear from the surface of the device. It is based on the same mechanism, which can be observed in nature on the leaves of the lotus. Getting on the phone pushes the moisture, rolled into the drop, which rolls down from the unit. According to unconfirmed information, Nokia does not become the first companies interested nano for its smartphones, which would help ensure the water resistance of devices. Previously, interest in the technology of HzO showed the Samsung and Apple, who acquired the rights to its use and development. Therefore not surprising that the same path walked and Nokia, no.
