Researchers Develop Artificial Water-Repellent Materials with Switchable Wetting Surface

The lotus leaf has a unique feature that prevents the leaf from getting wet when rain falls on it. The water just rolls off without actually wetting the surface of the leaf. This novel characteristic has made room for the possibility of developing artificial materials that are water-repellent just like the lotus leaf.
