Happy to see that our paper on water transport through plant cuticles and artificial mimics of such membranes is now featured as an Editor’s highlight:
Thanks to @plamatsu and Lukas Schreiber @unibonn we learned more about leaf cuticles than we ever dreamed of. Read about adaptive directional water transport through these biomembranes and our #bioinspired knockoffs in @NatureComms : https://t.co/v3XDp4oyks Great work Aris!

Surfaces beetles can't walk on - maybe not the best way to make beetle friends at first but cellulose derivatives offer an excellent nontoxic insecticide replacement!🌱🌾🌽 By @JohannesBergm11 and @MerkleInstitute researchers. @Bruns_Lab @Beverley_CUBG
