Scanning electron microscope image of the surface of a lotus leaf. • SIZE: Scale bar representes 200 µm • IMAGING TOOL: Table-top Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
This activity developed by NNIN explores how nanotechnology can be used to change the properties of a copper surface so that it either attracts or repels water. It is appropriate for middle school and high school students. Nonpolar molecules that...
The Lotus Effect describes water droplets rolling off leaf surfaces, removing dirt and contaminants in the process. This phenomenon can also be seen in the more common nasturtium. Scanning electron microscope images show that nasturtium leaves are covered by waxy...
