Researchers in the US say they have created an ultra-slippery toilet coating that could help save vast quantities of water around the world.
Scientists at Penn State University say the coating cuts the amount of water required to flush excrement by 90%.
They say it also prevents bacteria from building up in toilet bowls and reduces associated odours.
The spray, which is more slippery than Teflon, would be affected by urine and need reapplying after about 50 flushes.
Researchers hope that the discovery could help reduce water waste. Every day, more than 141 billion litres of water are used to flush toilets.
According to the researchers, who published their findings in the journal Nature Sustainability, the fresh water used to flush the world's toilets each day is six times Africa's total water consumption.
"Our team has developed a robust bio-inspired, liquid, sludge- and bacteria-repellent coating that can essentially make a toilet self-cleaning," Tak-Sing Wong, associate professor of mechanical engineering at the university, told Penn State News.
"Poop sticking to the toilet is not only unpleasant to users, but it also presents serious health concerns," he said. "Our goal is to bring impactful technology to the market so everyone can benefit," he added.

就是拉呗！
哈哈哈哈, 无法直视我家的ceramic nonstick fry pan了。
男生小便池很多都是不需要冲水的，靠的就是不粘。。
这种超级涂层原来不是设计给食品界的吗？ 就是各种酱汁调味品里不浪费的，甚至牙膏的。怎么现在运用到马桶上了啊？
太恶了。。。。。。。
发型很潮嘛
涂车上比较实际-__-
太了解科研狗了。
这是一个技术问题，总会有办法。不粘锅的聚四氟乙烯涂层，也有各种办法加固，防止被铲下来。
是的，体内有湿。不一定湿热，湿寒也有可能
挺实用的啊。做成spray啊
嗯 遇上屁炸屎的話。。。腦補流氓兔 ---发自Huaren 官方 iOS APP
Hahaha, 太搞笑啦。
我也觉得是啊。大部分时候不会粘啊
