And apart from a layer of wax on its feet, the simply designed remigator (an insect) can walk on water thanks to a nanometric structure that helps it repel water so that it won't become waterlogged. The water lily's ability to grow out from mud without being sullied by it is also due to natural nanotech.
而構造簡單的水黽可以行走在水上，除了腳上有層蠟外，也有奈米結構暗藏其中，才能展現滴水不滲的「撥水」能力；蓮花「出污泥而不染」的自淨能力，尤其可以作為奈米效應的代表。
