FLY EYES INSPIRE ANTI-FOGGING MATERIALS DISCOVERY
2 June, 2014 |

http://media.uow.edu.au/news/UOW172664.html
Researchers have discovered the eye of the fly may hold the key to anti-fogging materials.Self-cleaning windows and glasses that don’t fog up are among the innovative applications that could soon appear after UOW researchers turned to the common house fly for the inspiration behind a new anti-fogging material. ...

"Fly-eyes' could reduce glass fogging"

http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2014/05/27/4001730.htm
An anti-fog coating modelled on the nano-structure of a fly eye could one day be used on windows for cars, planes and buildings, say researchers.
The coating could also protect electricity or telecommunication networks from freezing, suggests new research published in the journal Small.
Being superhydrophobic means water cannot wet the material and this paves the way for it being used for anti-fogging, and also anti-freezing, anti-corrosive and self-cleaning, say the researchers. .... .....

UOW researchers look into fly eyes
1 June 2014
|
 |
Researchers at the University of Wollongong have looked deep into the eyes of the common house fly to find out how the insects see clearly in moist environments without fogging up and how bespectacled humans might do the same.
Seen under high-powered microscopes, the fly's eye is made up of thousands of tiny hexagon-type shapes, containing still more - even tinier - hexagons.....
