Jay Leno Walks Away From Terrifying Crash | CNBC Make It.

Silica nanoparticles embedded in a piece of polycarbonate form puffy, y-shaped structures that cradle droplets of soap and prevent them from sticking to the plastic below. Researchers at The Ohio State University have made similar advances with making soap slide off of polypropylene.
The structures, which look like heart-shaped corals, are spaced a few micrometers apart across the surface of the bottle. They branch out at the top, leaving a small layer of air between them and the surface of the bottle. This prevents the soap molecules from ever touching the bottle.
Bhushan told CNBC he got the idea when some people at Procter & Gamble told him they were interested in a shampoo bottle that would not let soap collect around the lid.
"I was speaking to Procter and Gamble, and I suggested self cleaning bottles at the time I was thinking of bottles that remain free of dirt and other contaminants," Bhushan said. "And they said "well we have been thinking about self-cleaning shampoo bottles, because the shampoo collects on the cap," and that is how the work started. We have no relationship with them, but often I talk to people to figure out what it is we should be working on."
Bhushan told CNBC that the product potentially has many uses. He said the team was applying for a patent on Monday, and will be seeking funding for further research.
Though the product works well in their laboratory tests, they will have to work more to achieve a substance that can fully repel substances in real world situations such as a shampoo that has been sitting in a bottle for months, as well as products that have different ingredients.
He also said the invention has potentially many applications, including in automotive parts, or even coatings to repel oils off smartphone surfaces. Bhushan said he has worked with Sony Japan and Honda, among others, on similar materials.
An email sent to Sony seeking comment was not returned at the time of publication.

England vs Iceland 1-2 All Goals & Extended Highlights HD
NICE, France (CBSNewYork/AP) Icelands soccer announcer has gone viral again.
After losing his mind when Iceland scored a last-second goal against Austria to move on from the group stage, Gudmundur Benediktsson stepped up his game after Iceland stunned England 2-1 to move on to the European Championships quarterfinals.
You can leave Europe! You can go wherever the h**l you want! he said about England, referencing the United Kingdom voting to leave the European Union.
Obviously, Benediktsson became a hit on social media after the call.
As for England, the defeat meant more humiliation on the big stage and surely another inquest into why a team of supposedly talented players failed again.
David Cameron stepped down as British Prime Minister after the result of last weeks referendum that unsettled the country and the whole of Europe. England coach Roy Hodgson did the same after overseeing yet another humiliating campaign in a major tournament.
Now is the time for someone else to oversee the progress of this young, hungry and extremely talented group of players, Hodgson said. They have been fantastic.
For English player and current BBC Sports analyst Gary Lineker called it the worst defeat in our history.
England beaten by a country with more volcanoes than professional footballers. Well played Iceland, Lineker tweeted.
The English have still never won a knockout-stage game abroad in the European Championship in eight attempts and havent won a match beyond the group stage of a major tournament since 2006.
This defeat will probably go down as Englands biggest humiliation since losing 1-0 to the United States in 1950 World Cup.
Iceland will face France in the quarterfinals on Sunday.

Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose address the Roman Reigns controversy: Raw, June 27, 2016
Todd Williamson/Associated Press
As the WWE brand extension approaches, more information is slowly being released about how the company will be structured once Raw and SmackDown are separate entities.
Splitting up the shows may be the biggest thing on WWE"s plate, but there were still plenty of other headlines from the past week to keep us busy.
Roman Reigns Suspended
In a bit of shocking news, Roman Reigns was on Tuesday suspended for 30 days following a wellness policy violation according to WWE.com.
It"s been a long time since a top star has been suspended for a violation such as this, and it could seriously affect how he is booked when he returns.
Reigns was still mentioned as being part of the Battleground main event on SmackDown, so it appears he still has his top spot.
The former WWEworld heavyweight champion took to Twitter to apologize to his friends and family for letting them down:
WWE Bringing Back WCW Show Concept
WWE.com has a strange listing that seems to indicate a past WCW theme is returning. When you click on the page for Night of Champions, it shows Clash of Champions as the title.
With the brand extension coming up in a few weeks, we still have a lot of unanswered questions about how the pay-per-view schedule will be structured.
It"s possible Clash events will replace NOC moving forward, but there"s always the possibility WWE will use both names and give each one to a different brand.
For those who don"t remember, Clash of the Champions events were like PPVs, but they were aired for free on television instead of being available to purchase through cable and satellite companies.
Over the years, WCW produced 35 Clash events, and all of them are available on the WWE Network for anyone who has never seen one.
CM Punk"s UFC Debut
CM Punk revealed his official UFC debut will take place at UFC 203 in September during a recent interview with UFC Unfiltered.
This means Punk will enter the octagon just under two years after signing with the company. He would have had his first fight already had it not been for a few medical issues along the way.
Punk will be fighting Mickey Gall, who has won his first two professional fights with UFC. If Punk can secure a win, it will silence many of the critics who feel he isn"t cut out for MMA.
We have to remember, Punk is no longer a young man.At almost 38 years old, he is getting into MMA much later than most of his peers, but his years of taking bumps in the ring five nights a week should help him deal with the pain of being punched and kicked for real.
Kurt Angle Returning to WWE?
During an interview with Mark Madden on Monday (h/t Wrestling Inc), Kurt Angle revealed he has had talks with Triple H, and his return to WWE is more a matter of when than if.
Do you want Kurt Angle back in WWE?
He also revealed he has interest in managing Jason Jordan and Chad Gable once he decides to hang up his boots and focus on doing other things.
Jordan and Gable have drawn comparisons to Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haasthanks to their looks and patriotic gimmick.
It will be interesting to see whether anything comes of this. Angle has spent more time working for TNA than he ever did wrestling for WWE, but wanting to end his professional wrestling career where it started is understandable.
We have heard wrestlers go into business for themselves by talking about a possible return, only to see nothing come of it, so we will have to wait to see what happens.
WWE Announces Draft
WWE issued a press release on Monday (h/tWrestling Inc), and the main topic of discussion was the return of the draft.
TheRaw and SmackDown GMs will pick their rosters during the live debut of SmackDown on Tuesday, July 19, marking the first time the draft has taken place outside an episode of Raw.
Despite the issues the original brand extension had, the draft was always one of the best nights of the year because it shook things up for both shows.
This year"s draft is especially important because it will outline what the next year will look like for both Raw and SmackDown.
It"s also reasonable to assume a few NXT Superstars will be brought up to the main roster to add some surprises to the lineup and help fill out the rosters.
Which Superstars do you want to see end up on Raw, and who should go to SmackDown?

The Legend of Tarzan - #TarzanChallenge Week 6 (FINAL)
LOS ANGELES - The Legend of Tarzan, the latest in a long line of ape-man fantasy tales, is obviously a big Hollywood blockbuster.
But David Yates movie is also surprisingly serious, racially sophisticated and historically based on an actual African genocide. Just ask Samuel L. Jackson, the 67-year-old actor who plays the American character of George Washington Williams in Tarzan.
When I spoke to David and we started to talk about George Washington Williams, it was my first time hearing about it, Jackson tells a Hollywood press conference as the Tarzan movie gears up for its Friday debut. Hes a real guy? So, all of a sudden I realized: Okay, so Im not just playing some adventure guys with a pair of big guns." Im playing a really important person who had a raison detre for being there!
Jackson plunged into researching the unique history of Williams, a veteran of the Civil War as a teenaged soldier on the Union side. Williams later became a mercenary in the Mexican revolutionary war, then a U.S. army soldier in the disgraceful Indian Wars. Jackson found that history fascinating, partly because of the contradictions of Williams career as soldier, priest, historian, journalist and finally as an informal U.S. government representative in Africa in the late 1880s.
He was a bit of a rogue, too, Jackson says. He wasnt just a straight-up guy. He lied and gave himself titles that he didnt have. He was a black person trying to make it in that particular world at that particular time and he was able to do that through grit and guile.
How exactly does this relate to Tarzan? In the movie, the Tarzan story is spun out against the real-life background of how Belgiums King Leopold II personally organized an invasion force to take over the Congo basin, establishing what was laughably called the Congo Free State in 1885. What Leopolds agents and troops did was murder tens of thousands of Congolese on a program of terror that also subjugated tribal groups and introduced extreme segregation and forced labour, recreating the worst excesses of U.S. slavery.
In the movie, George Washington Williams teams up with Tarzan to expose the genocide and to organize African peoples and wild animals to fight back. In real life, obviously without Tarzan, Williams was the first major voice to sound the alarm in Europe and the U.S.
So Im really proud that David gave me that opportunity, Jackson says of playing Williams opposite Alexander Skarsgards Tarzan.
Jackson later visited Williams burial site in Blackpool, England, while shooting the next Tim Burtons Miss Peregrine"s Home for Peculiar Children. Williams had died of tuberculosis and pleurisy in England in 1891 at the age of 41, after returning from his humanitarian mission.
I actually got to see his grave, Jackson explains, which was kind of profound and moving for me. Hopefully, I have done some justice to this particular character. Hopefully, people will be intrigued enough by him to investigate who he really was, and what he did find out (in the Congo), and the things that he actually stood for.
The England star has had a number of world-class partners up top at the Theatre of Dreams including the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Michael Owen, Carlos Tevez and Dimitar Berbatov.
And the former Everton striker has given an insight as to what it is like to play with those deadly forwards.
He told Four Four Two: "What is it like playing with different types of striker partners? I have to change my style.
Carlos was a lovely fella
Wayne Rooney
"Berba likes to drop in and get touches on the ball so I tend to stay as high as I can and leave the space for him to get on the ball.
"A player like Michael likes to try to get in behind so I have to drop in.
"Luckily, playing in our team you get a lot of possession and a lot of touches so its not too much of a culture shock.
"For two or three seasons I had to play a lot out wide and Ronaldo played through the middle, so that changed straight away.
"For the team, when Ronaldo was out wide, you knew he would come inside and shoot, do a few tricks.
"Now with [Antonio] Valencia, youve got to be on your toes more in the box because he will move in and cross it more than Ronaldo did.
"Carlos was a lovely fella, an honest player who ran for 90 minutes every week and you cant ask for any more from a team-mate.
"I think he realised early on that Im quite an unselfish player, that if he was in a better position I would give him the ball and that if he stayed up I would drop back to cover.
"Wed work for each other and because we lived round the corner from one another, wed drive each other to training, drive to the airport together for away games.
"It was a bit easier to communicate with him on the pitch his English wasnt too good and sometimes wed have these long car journeys in silence!"
The economic fallout from the United Kingdoms decision to leave the European Union has reached the 2016 Wimbledon Championships. The record prize money payments intended for the male and female winners of the London-based tennis tournament have lost a significant chunk of their value, thanks to the plunging worth of the British pound.
The All England Club, which hosts Wimbledon, will award a total of 28.1 million in prize money to this years top performers, with 2 million tabbed for the winners of the mens and womens tournament. The 2 million prize was worth $3,003,200 at 5 p.m. ET on June 23, just before the U.K. held its Brexit referendum.
The same prize money is worth about $2,644,383 as of Monday morning, as the British pounds value fell to its lowest level in more than three decades, relative to the U.S. dollar. In other words, the Wimbledon prize has depreciated more than $358,000 in a matter of days.
More on this...
About 52% of U.K. residents voted in favor of Brexit last Thursday, despite warnings from the regions financial establishment and Prime Minister David Cameron, who announced his resignation effective in October. The financial reverberations reached international markets, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which has plunged more than 800 points since the decision.
Its unclear exactly how Brexit will affect other U.K.-based sporting events, such as the English Premier League. U.S.-based sports leagues, including the NBA and the NFL, are expected to hold pre-planned showcase games in London as scheduled, despite the decision.
The 130th edition of the Wimbledon Championships begins Monday, June 27 and runs through July 10.
