This image serves as an illustration of the nanotechnology in lotus leaves here
Free flowing water pearl drop on a lotus leaf. The leaves of lotus plants have a superhydrophobic surface
made of millions of nanoscale rods. The lotus leaf, or water lily leaf, exhibits an extraordinary ability to keep itself
clean and dry with free-flowing water collecting dirt from its surface (the Lotus Effect).
