A toilet that cleans itself

Posted by Ian in Uncategorized on February 9th, 2006

Scientists are working on a new surface coating, using nanotechnology, that has the potential to lead to a self-cleaning toilet or bathroom. Now that is useful. Once they master that, can we have the same brainpower applied to:

  • self cleaning plates, cups, pans and cutlery
  • floor coverings
  • cars
  • clothes - self-ironing would also be good
  • self-mowing grass (as in lawn),

just for starters. I’m sure there’s lots more useful things the scientists could work on.

Hey presto, no more scrubbing.
