A team of researchers says they have created the most water-repellent surface ever, challenging existing ideas about how friction works. Known as a self-assembled monolayer (SAM), the ingenious new surface, which is assembled at the molecular level, has the potential to impact hundreds of commercial and industrial applications, including de-icing techniques, maritime technologies, space exploration, and even ultra-slippery cookware.

I've been using ad blockers for so long that I almost forget ads even exist. Then I read comments like this, and wonder how anyone can browse the internet without one. I remember what it was like before I used them, and I know that it's gotten much worse since then.

If you don't have another active VPN, I believe Blokada has an ios version and blocks ads device-wide.
