GERMAN SCIENTISTS DEVELOP NANOTECHNOLOGY FOR FOGGED WINDSHIELDS
January 1st, 2007
By MARK ROWEGerman scientists have developed a new hi-tech lacquer that they claim spells an end to fogged-up automobile windshields on damp mornings. The electrically conductive coating uses nanotechnology to heat the windshield across its entire surface.Fogged-up auto windows are caused when moisture inside the car condenses and forms a layer on the cold window surface. This "dew point" effect is particularly marked in small spaces, such as an auto. Now the German scientists believe they have found a way to heat the windshield without wires to obstruct the view ...
