What plants can teach us about oil spill clean-up, microfluidics

For years, scientists have been inspired by nature to innovate solutions to tricky problems, even oil spills – manmade disasters with devastating environmental and economic consequences. A new study takes a cue from leaf structure to fabricate material that can separate oil and water, which could lead to safer and more efficient oil spill clean-up methods.
