The surface of lotus leaf adheres to numerous micron sized waxy mastoid structures. When observing these mastoid processes with an electron microscope, there are a number of nanoscale particles attached to the surface of each micron grade mastoid, which scientists call the dual structure of the lotus leaf. It is these tiny double structures that make the surface of the lotus leaf surface with the water or dust very limited, resulting in the phenomenon that the water drops on the surface of the leaf and can take away the dust. And the water does not stay on the surface of the lotus leaf.
