Nokia develops nanoparticles to repel water

Nokia developed a system based in nanoparticles which is capable of repelling water in our devices, named Hydrophobic Nanocoating. It’s a coating of nanoparticles for mobile phones capable of retaining air in its structure repelling water actively.

Thanks to a crystal treated with nanoparticles, if we drop a liquid it doesn’t spread but, on the contrary, it slides until disappearing from the surface without leaving traces.

Thus, later in the edition, just by clicking on the area we want to highlight, the focus and depth of field vary in real time, until leaving it as we want it. The Lytro camera stills places next to the sensor micro-lenses that gather information from the light.
