Coming: Self-cleaning glass and super-slick surfaces
Ohio State University (OSU) engineers are designing superslick, water-repellent surfaces that could lead to self-cleaning glass. The patentpending technology could also reduce friction between tiny moving parts inside microdevices. The technology creates a surface that mimics the texture of lotus

New Radio Antennas May Cool Car Interiors, Defrost Car Windows
) 10/28/98 NEW RADIO ANTENNAS MAY COOL CAR INTERIORS, DEFROST CAR WINDOWS COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Engineers at Ohio State University have found a way to convert two common car window components into AM/FM radio antennas. The marriage of these two technologies may lead to invisible radio antennas that not only
