Researchers develop the first permanent anti-fog coating

[Cheese]

Researchers under the supervision of Universite Laval professor Gaétan Laroche have developed the very first permanent anti-fog coating. Dr. Laroche and his colleagues present in the online edition of Applied Materials and Interfaces the details of this innovation which could eliminate, once and for all, the fog on eyeglasses, windshields, goggles, camera lenses, and on any transparent glass or plastic surface.

Foggy

No more spitting into my scuba mask.

Wow this is actually amazing! No fogged goggles, or lenses. This is a world I dream of.

It would be nice not having my swim goggles fog up every day.

Does dish soap really work good ?

Finally my scuba mask and hockey visor can be clear!!!

Yeah, it does (for scuba diving goggles).

Edit: wait, maybe that's shampoo...?

Until you get your hands on this permanent anti-fog stuff, you can rub tooth paste (paste, not gel) on the inside of swimming goggles or masks...
Much more effective than spitting in them, and lasts longer...

spit works the best, just keep the lense dry, spit and spread it around with your finger, then rinse and you're good to go.

Hockey visor and motorcycle helmet please.

[burn_this_city]

Yeah thats not gonna work

I totally misread that thread title and figured those were some really homophobic scientists.

This is great news! It kinda sucks when you're trying to weld high pressure sour gas pipe and you can't see a thing. I tried using the same anti-fog stuff that you use on the windshield of you car on the lenses in my welding helmet once. Not recommended. Doesn't work and the fumes burn your eyes.

And you said there's no God.....

Now it's gonna cost $250 for a hockey visor instead of $100. Yaaay!

Yay! Now my glasses won't fog up when I have my nose pressed against the neighbors bedroom window, and my 400mm zoom lens won't fog up from dew when I am hiding in the hedges taking pictures. I am a super creepy pervert, with many many hobbies of a questionable and borderline illegal variety.

Better?

Does this mean my glasses won't fog up when a pretty gal walks by?

He feels better knowing there are kindred spirits out there.
