There’s a new nanotech kid on the block… it repels water like nothing else and reduces friction underwater by %20. whatever will we do with it? Make an awesome watercraft? Or just try to use it to beat Micheal Phelps.

The fabric is constructed of polyester fibers that are covered in a layer of 40-nanometer-wide silicone nanofilaments. These nanofilaments are spiky and cause water to sit in a sphere above the fabric, a permanent pocket of air protected safely below.
