Researchers design superhydrophobic 'nanoflower' for biomedical applications

Phys.org   -   Scientific News Websites

Plant leaves have a natural superpower—they're designed with water repelling characteristics. Called a superhydrophobic surface, this trait allows leaves to cleanse themselves from dust particles. Inspired by such natural designs, a team of r...
