This is new, read it today from one of the tech sites that I read daily.
Meguiar's did you give out the secret formula of NXT Tech Wax 2.0 for the first time in 100+ years?!?!?!?! 
The Air Force's Office of Scientific Research has funded a study that's come up with a novel waterproofing technique that could prevent ice formation and corrosion from damaging parts of an aircraft, like optical sensors. The transparent nanotech coating has a nanoporous surface that is superhydrophobic, which makes water droplets form and roll or bounce-off the aircraft's skin rather than collecting, which is how ice formations happen. Better still it can be carefully crafted to send the droplets in particular pathways across the coating, meaning it may also have applications as a cheap and simple water-collection system for desert environments: this idea was inspired by the way the Namib Desert beetle gathers moisture. We wonder though... is it as good as Golden Shellback?
