I coated this glass with a hydrophobic coating that does just that.

我用给个玻璃加有个功能的疏涂层。

Experts suspect the surfaces may be covered with some kind of hydrophobic material that repels water molecules.

专家揣测其表面可能覆盖有排斥分子的疏材料。

Their shared reaction to water makes the lipids stick loosely together—this is called the hydrophobic effect.

头尾对的反应让脂质分子松散地附着在一起，就是疏效应。

This makes the hydrophobic effect disappear, and gives the molecules room to move around.

会让疏效应消失，并提供让分子移动的空间。

So we can't quite make objects invisible, but what about super waterproof, or superhydrophobic, materials?

我们还不能完全让物体隐形，超级防材料，或者是超疏材料听上去如何？

So you should be asking yourself, how can they be transported in the blood, when they're so hydrophobic?

所以你应该自己，它们如此疏，怎么能在血液中运输呢？

The tail is hydrophobic, which means it repels water and instead attaches itself to oils or fats.

尾巴是疏的，就味着它可以排斥分子，而是附着在油脂上。

Their tails, which are similarly repulsed by water, compete for space with the lipids that make up the virus's shell.

它们疏的尾部会与构成病毒外壳的脂质争夺空间。

When you surround a coronavirus with water, the hydrophobic effect gives the bonds within the membrane their strength.

当你用裹住新冠病毒时，它的疏效应会让膜内结构更坚不可摧。

Here's what they saw. The leaves are extremely hydrophobic, meaning water beads up to minimize contact with the surface.

以下是他们观察到的情况。叶片极其疏，味着上面的会形成珠，尽量减少与叶面的接触。

If that angle's more than 150 degrees, then it's superhydrophobic.

如果个角度超过150度，么该表面就是超疏的。

But most of what makes water roll off a duck's back are these superhydrophobic microstructures.

但让珠从鸭背滑落的主要因素，正是些超疏的微观结构。

The pepper extract sample goes into a column that's packed with hydrophobic particles that attract capsaicin.

辣椒提取物样本进入一根装满疏颗粒的柱子，些颗粒会吸引辣椒素。

But if that hydrophobic region helps human insulin bind to our cell receptors, how would this insulin manage it?

但是， 如果个疏区域帮助人类胰岛素与我们的细胞受体结合，么种胰岛素将如何管理它呢？

Put those things together, that can help you live to 100. Well, if you're acrophobic or hydrophobic, this pool ain't for you.

把些东西放在一起， 可以帮助你活到 100 岁。好吧，如果你有恐高症或疏症， 个游泳池不适合你。

Lotus leaves repel water because they are covered with minuscule waxy nodules that stop water molecules bonding with a leaf's surface tissues, meaning those molecules bond with each other instead.

荷叶疏，是因为它们表面覆盖着微小的蜡质结节，会阻止分子与叶面组织结合，因而分子只能彼此结合。

And so the drop just pulls itself into this round shape and we get a really large superhydrophobic contact angle and that water just ends up rolling right off.

因此，滴会自行收缩成圆形，形成极大的超疏接触角，最终滴会直接滚落。

To cut costs, Dr Poulikakos and Dr Haechler applied a superhydrophobic coating to the surface of the chamber, forcing water droplets off the surface and making it possible for the device to function without electricity.

为降低成本， Poulikakos 博士和 Haechler 博士在腔体表面涂上一层超疏涂层，迫使滴从表面滴落， 使得该设备无需电力即可运行。

These surfactants have their hydrophilic head and their hydrophobic tails, and so they form these micelles around the dirt, which is what grabs onto dirt and oil, and helps it to remove it from the hair and the scalp.

些表面活性剂有亲的头部和疏的尾部，所以它们在污垢周围形成胶束，些胶束可以吸附污垢和油脂，并帮助它们从头发和头皮上清除。

Human insulin molecules are stored in clusters of six, thanks to a sticky patch at one end of the peptide – a hydrophobic region that also helps insulin bind to receptors and tell cells to take up glucose.

人胰岛素分子以六个一簇的形式储存— 由于肽的一端有一个粘性斑块，— 疏区域也有助于胰岛素与受体结合并告诉细胞吸收葡萄糖。
