This episode of DNews is brought to you by the all-new G Flex 2, from LG. Life’s Good Water repellent metals? Yup, that’s a thing now. Hi gang, Amy here for DNews. We’ve all seen corroded metals, whether it’s the wall of an abandoned building or an old pipe that’s sprung a leak. Metals corrode because we use them in environments where they are chemically unstable; only copper and the precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum, exist in nature in their metallic state. More common metals like iron are processed from minerals and unstable, particularly in the presence of water. Preventing corrosion usually means adding a chemical coating to a metal’s surface, making it hydrophobic. At CES 2015, Belgium-based Europlasma, a global leader in low pressure plasma technology, showcased ...
