Anti-bacterial surfaces inspired by cicada and dragonfly wings
This is the first reported example of a naturally existing surface with a physical structure that exhibits such effective bactericidal properties. Cicada wing nanopillars are extremely effective at

Anti-bacterial surfaces inspired by cicada and dragonfly wings
Many surfaces found in nature possess sophisticated topographical structures which provide them with exceptional properties. Nano-structured surface of lotus leafs efficiently repel water, microscopic
