MIT's Freaky Non-Stick Coating Keeps Ketchup Flowing

When it comes to those last globs of ketchup inevitably stuck to every bottle of Heinz, most people either violently shake the container in hopes of eking out another drop or two, or perform the "secret" trick: smacking the "57" logo on the bottle's neck. But not MIT PhD candidate Dave Smith. He and a team of mechanical engineers and nano-technologists at the Varanasi Research Group have been held up in an MIT lab for the last two months addressing this common dining problem.

We could be curing cancer and and AIDS, but no, we're developing easy use ketchup.

I don't yet have cancer or aids, but I do have a nearly empty ketchup bottle with valuable ketchup left in it. I say go MIT. You can work on cancer and AIDs when I come down with those diseases.

I use the leave bottle upside down method and any residue is left as an offering to the FSM, I think he implies an offering in the absence of an explicit naming of an alternate deity.

So far my offerings have kept me free of those diseases, I fear for the well being of those who cheat the gods of their due.

You can get saucy stuff in tubes now not just toothpaste, we do indeed live in a time of flux and change...

The people who worked on this were mechanical engineers, I don't think many of them work on cancer or AIDS.

Tomatoes are known to have anti cancer properties so research into more efficient tomato consumption must be given due respect.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM tasty tasty lycopene.

Not directly but we have no idea what combination of technologies will come together in the future. If this stuff were used as a coating on miniature devises it may facilitate the introduction of resident monitoring robots within the gut.
