The end of smelly socks?

Lindsay might be relieved by this since I know how clean Dan is....

It looks like scientists in China have come up with nanotechnology that will coat fabric (currently only wool and silk). This coating will allow the fabric to feel the same but will react to sunlight by actually cleaning the fabric. From the Gizmodo article:

"The titanium dioxide-based coating bonds to silk and wool and uses sunlight to automagically decompose dirt, stains and microorganisms..."

Just remember to leave that pile of dirty clothes by the window and open the blinds.
