"This video shows water droplets falling on Lotus leaves, during the Indian monsoon. The lotus has a strange surface tension oil that completely drains off water, without wetting the surface! This is now being adapted into a new nanotechnology based technology to make wet suits that will not wet the wearer!

Lotus is from the kingdom Plantae and belongs to Nelumbonaceae family.
