A new study shows that sapphire, the second most durable gemstone after diamond, could be the key to developing the best anti-glare, anti-fogging, dust-resistant, scratch-free surfaces.

While not quite as scratch-resistant as traditional bulk sapphire – the nanostructures are comparable to tungsten or traditional glass in that way – these new sapphire nanostructures repel fog, dust ...
