The "Lotus Effect" refers to the self-cleaning properties observed in the leaves of the lotus plant. This phenomenon occurs due to the unique microstructure of the leaves, which are covered in tiny, waxy bumps. These bumps create a surface that repels water and dirt, allowing contaminants to roll off easily when it rains or when water is applied. This effect has inspired various applications in technology and materials science. For instance, researchers are developing self-cleaning surfaces and coatings that mimic the lotus leaf's properties. These innovations aim to reduce the need for chemical cleaners and improve hygiene in various settings, from buildings to textiles.
