Lotus Leaf-Inspired Nanotechnology

Microscopic bumps on a lotus leaf transform its waxy surface into an extremely water repellent, or superhydrophobic, material. Raindrops roll easily across such a surface, removing any dirt. Researchers have developed synthetic self-cleaning materials, some of which are based on this “lotus effect,” whereas others employ the opposite property—superhydro*philicity—as well as catalytic chemical reactions. Future products may combine the two water affinity properties or use substances that can be switched back and forth to control the flow of liquids through microfluidic components.

Well, if that doesn't scientifically "prove" the divinity of Buddha (who is almost ALWAYS shown next to a Lotus Flower or sitting on a Lotus Leaf) well then.... I sure as Hell don't know what does.

Note that Buddha is often shown being clean. It's crystal clear
