There is more surface area if you're tracing the molecular profile, but as far as the parts the water can reach and stick to (apparently) there is less. Just a guess</p>AnonymousFri, 15 Dec 2006 15:00:35 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2006/09/19/nanonuno-umbrella-dries-instantly/#comment-1759328<p>I agree with anonymous. Someone must have gotten the info rayally reversed.</p>DaveSat, 23 Sep 2006 21:21:20 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2006/09/19/nanonuno-umbrella-dries-instantly/#comment-1759327<p>"The smaller surface area means there is less area for water and dirt to stick to compared to a smooth surface."</p><p>The less smooth a surface is, the greater the surface area will be. Not quite what's written above.</p>AnonymousWed, 20 Sep 2006 14:22:02 -0000
