The cross-section of a leaf reveals its complex structure. The waxy cuticle surface on the outside protects the leaf and prevents excess water loss. The palisade cells at the upper side are packed ...

By using leaf skeletons as templates, researchers harnessed nature's intrinsic hierarchical fractal structures to improve the ...

A novel biomimetic method replicates leaf skeleton microstructures, enhancing flexible electronics with improved durability and environmental sustainability.

"The design mimics the structure of leaf veins," said Li Xiaofei, a member of the team, "which balances the strength and ...
