Abstract
The leaves of the lotus plant are immaculately clean after every rainfall because dirt and microorganisms are unable to obtain a hold on the microstructured, non-wettable surfaces of the leaves. Dirt particles, algae, and fungal spores do not become fi rmly attached to the leaves, merely lying loosely on the surfaces. Rain simply washes the particles away.
