Texan Michael Nesmith's mother Bette Nesmith Graham had invented a correction fluid and founded the company that became Liquid Paper. He had served a brief stint in the U.S. Air Force and had
Adaptive fluid-infused porous film Adaptive fluid-infused porous film Adaptive fluid-infused porous films change states when stretched, allowing for dynamic control over transparency and wettability. They were developed by researchers at Harvard University. The same team previously invented Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS) which served as the base technology to control wettability in Adaptive fluid-infused porous film. The material is a thin elastic film that contains nano-sized pores. When in a normal relaxed state, if droplets of liquid are applied to the film, they will roll freely along the smooth surface. However, when the film is stretched, any droplets of liquid that are applied
