An incredibly slippery 3D-printed toilet doesn’t get dirty and requires less water to flush than a typical one, scientists say. Could cleaning toilets become a chore of the past?
Right now, the concept is just a prototype, but researchers are working on ways to eventually bring this clever chemistry to market. So far, the researchers have printed only a tiny model of the toilet that stands about one-fifth the height of a typical porcelain throne, and they tested its slickness by exposing its surface to yogurt, honey, starchy gel and fake poop, not the real stuff.
What about the smell?! You haven’t thought of the smell you removed!
