Lotus Leaf Effect
| Content Provider | National Informal STEM Education Network (NISE Net) |
|---|---|
| Description | "Lotus Leaf Effect" is a cart demo that demonstrates how nature inspires nanotechnology by sharing how nanoscale features on a surface can influence how a material behaves at the macroscale. Visitors learn that lotus leaves (and many other plant leaves) are self cleaning and repel water, due to nanoscale features on the leaves. During the program, visitors compare how water interacts with regular lettuce and leaves that exhibit the lotus effect by dropping water onto the different types of leaves. |
