I just found this article on nanograss

Grazing the Nanograss
Adaptable substance may cool computers and put a zoom lens in your cell phone

OCTOBER 11, 2004 (COMPUTERWORLD) - A drop of water glides across the flat surface like quicksilver, moving effortlessly from place to place as the surface is tilted. It's hard to believe that the little bead is water, for it doesn't wet the surface as it races around, seemingly without friction.

The little drop in this impromptu laboratory demonstration isn't on an ordinary surface. It's riding on "nanograss," a bed of upright silicon posts a thousand times thinner than a human hair. Bell Labs, the research and development arm of Lucent Technologies Inc., is betting that nanograss will find its way into commercial products ranging from low-friction boat hulls to heat sinks for computer processors and batteries with a shelf life of 25 years. It will be one of the first nanoscale technologies commercialized by Bell Labs and its partner, the New Jersey Nanotechnology Consortium (NJNC).

1. That's cool.

Nano grass... nano cats... nano weed...

Maybe I'm coming off a bit too weird.
