Bioengineers have harnessed the lotus effect to develop a system for culturing cancer cell clusters that can shed light on hard-to-study tumor properties. The new zinc oxide-based culturing surface ...

The analysis showed that fructans have a branched chemical structure that forms a kind of porous sponge on which water can be retained. This keeps the plant hydrated despite high temperatures. The ...

(A). Light was absorbed by a leaf and reflected and transmitted from the leaf. The reflect light includes specular and diffuse portion, and this reflect light distribution can be modeled with BRDF (B) ...
