This could really lead to a sizable increase in the home field advantage for baseball games. It's a swampy mess when the visiting team is in the outfield, but dry as a bone when the home team is out there.

Steinbrenner's probably on the phone as I type.

"If you can change that on the fly, it opens up applications everywhere."

So it will be normal until the fly lights then turn sticky? Neat flypaper.

*sigh* I've made "nanograss" using the black silicon method to set up a plasma etcher.

I knew about electrowetting.

Never put 2 and 2 together. *sigh*

Not directly related, but I was reading in my John Deer magazine this afternoon that they are now coating seeds with a polymer that will not allow water onto the seed until the ground temperature reaches 50 degrees F. Therefore, you can plant as early as you want, but the seed will not germinate until the ground temperature reaches 50. I don't know if it can be tuned (i.e. put one field in to germinate at 50, another when it hits 55 a week later, etc), but sounds pretty cool to me.

A more bucolic metaphor, calls it "nanograss."

Keep this stuff off the greens on our golf courses.
