Even water just slides right off. Inspired by the water-repelling lotus leaf, McMaster set out to create surfaces using a combination of nano-scale surface engineering and chemistry. FendX ...

The team's metallic surfaces retained properties of the originals, including a rose petal's sticky, yet water-repelling textures. Nature has worked for eons to perfect surface textures that ...

Researchers in China have discovered why water droplets roll off a lotus leaf like mercury yet stick to rose ... surface, even upside down. Larger drops roll away clean. The dewy effect keeps ...

When drops of water touch the surface of a lotus flower leaf, they form beads and roll off, collecting dust particles along the way. In contrast, water droplets on a rose petal also form beads ...

A polymeric coating that is extremely water-repelling (superhydrophobic) and will allow water to roll off from the surface like in the case of a lotus leaf or stick to the surface as in the case ...

It aluminium surface is modified using a water-repellent material that is compliant with various food and hygiene standards. 'Inspired by lotus leaves, Toyal Lotus is an innovative functional ...

keeping the leaf clean. To make their lotus-inspired material, the RMIT team of science and engineering researchers first synthetically engineered a plastic made of starch and cellulosic nanoparticles ...
