From ice to COVID-19 passing by the lotus!

Gelareh Momen, associate professor at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, and her research team specialize in the development of anti-adhesive coatings inspired by the lotus leaf. With COVID, the objective is to reduce the adhesion of the virus. The QCAM blog results from a collaboration with science journalist Valérie Levée, the author of this piece.
