and here i was thinking it would be fake but Dam was i proven wrong, that's some very interesting stuff.

It'll be great if they can apply it as a film for car windscreens would be great for driving in heavy rain.

That was pretty cool :D
Nanotubes are pretty awesome, hard, cheap, flexible.
The guy who thought of them got the idea from a dream he had, in which a snake bit it's own tail.
After he woke up, he ran to his study a drew what he had seen.
And after a lot more work. Carbon nanotubes were born.

Lolwut?
That's the benzene ring story of Kekule.
Speaking of hydrophobic -

There's more than one way to skin a cat and yes you can get transparent carbon nanotubes.
