Next Big Thing – super-clear glass

Correct my if I'm wrong, but isn't glass clear already?
Well, yes, but this glass developed by the science-wielders at MIT (via engadget) is particularly special, in that it hates pretty much everything. Like the Incredible Hulk.

Come again?
Conical nano-textures etched into the surface of this hi-tech glass mean that it's extremely hydrophobic (water repellent), fog resistant, glare-free and even dust resistant. Smudged screens and filthy displays could all be banished forever.

I want this. Now.
Join the queue, friend. This fancy tech could be used in everything from glasses to smartphones and even solar panels, but it'll be a while before it's commercially available, so just be careful with your fingers for the time being. No one likes a smudged display.
