The Salvinia effect refers to a phenomenon observed in certain natural materials, particularly the leaves of the water fern Salvinia molesta, which exhibit remarkable water-repellent properties. This effect is due to the unique micro- and nanoscale structures on the surface of the leaves that create an incredibly high degree of water repellency, allowing water droplets to bead up and roll off the surface rather than spreading out.
