Multiple water boatmenA team from theCollege of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Hexi University in China believe that by studying thesuperhydrophobicity of the water boatman's hind wings, they can design a submarine that is not only capable of operating underwater, but also of maneuvering on the surface! Their research focuses on superhydrophobicity — the interaction between solids and liquids which gives water boatmen the amazing ability to swim, breathe, balance and 'skate' over the surface of lakes and ponds. ....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/water-boatman-inspire-new-submarine-design-that-could-cruise-in-and-skate-on-the-ocean/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
