White Foam That Repels Water Naturally | Science News

from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Scientists have engineered a groundbreaking white, water-repellent material that ditched pigments and PFAS—inspired by nature’s own tricks like clouds and snow. By using light and a mild solvent to create a porous polymer structure, they built whiteness and water resistance directly into the material’s architecture. This innovation not only sidesteps banned ingredients like titanium dioxide but also works on fabrics with high precision, paving the way for lighter, more sustainable everyday products.
