Title: Nanotechnology Waterproofs Gadgets
Post by: rubyroo on January 20, 2013, 18:33

I wonder if they'll start waterproofing cameras with this stuff at the point of manufacture in future:

Ah well, that's what you get for spending too much time reading Google/Getty threads on MSG.  I'm behind on just about everything else.  ;)

Never mind - perhaps it will be of interest to others who have been equally distracted elsewhere.

It sure looks sweet, but I wonder if items with larger open spaces in them like cameras would fill up with water and not work because of that rather than electrical damage from the water. Still, when you drain it out it should work again? - it might be worth doing for that reason alone.
