The Pilkington Activ glass has a special nano-scale - extremely thin - coating of microcrystalline titanium oxide which reacts to daylight. This reaction breaks down filth on the glass, with no need for detergent. When water hits it, a hydrophilic effect is created, so water and dirt slides off.
Sounds really nice, but I wonder how resistant it is to burglary and children? It will probably cost you a packet to replace everytime it gets broken :-) Reminds me of that SF short story about the glass that retained images for some time (and caused accidents when it was used in car windows as drivers thought other vehicles were further away than they really were). Who knows? It might be invented soon now? Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
