Submission + - Stealth Paint from a German
Gerhardius writes: Werner Nickel sounds like a Disney style wacky inventor. He moved to the UAE to develop his previous invention: he had bred a worm whose excrement made it possible to grow radishes in the dry desert sand. That project failed so he moved on to the next item on his agenda, naturally a radar absorbing paint. While it certainly is not unique there is some interesting history behind the development, and a proposed civilian use. http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/0,1518,551152,00.html
