Hydrophobic nanocoating demo

Hydrophobic nanocoating demo

The other impressive prototype that the Nokia R&D team had to show was a Nokia 700 featuring an amazing hydrophobic coating, which acts as a water shield.
The "hydrophobic nanocoating" is a layer of nanostructures which forms a very thin layer of air on the surface of the phone and prevents water from entering penetrating it.
Such coating can be applied to both the body and the internals of the phone, allowing great water resistance to be achieved without adding extra weight or unnecessary bulkiness.
Here's the walkthrough of the technology, as provided by one of the Nokia representatives.
