Hi I'm Cody Gough and I'm Ashley Hamer.

We've got three stories from Curiosity.com to help you get smarter in just a few minutes.

Today you'll learn about an everything repellent coding where most of the lost luggage in the US ends up

and a technique to help you calm down in a matter of minutes.

Let's satisfy some curiosity.

Cody, have you ever had a clothing stain disaster?

Not a disaster, but some of my clothes have been messed up from spilling.

Well, I've got good news.

Scientists have finally made in everything repellent coding.

Haven't they already done that?

You're probably talking about the YouTube videos that were going around

of a spray or something that can

repel liquids, but all of those are usually more hype than reality.

They rub off quickly, they leave a residue on surfaces, and they make objects feel rough and sticky.

But material science researchers at the University of Michigan

have made an industrial strength

omnophobic coding, and it looks like it's the real deal.

How do you even make a new material anyway? Well so usually

scientists will take materials that already exist that have the qualities they want

right and they'll mix them together then see if the final product does what they're looking for.

But they don't always mix together well.

So this team built the material from the ground up.
