Leafhopper Brochosomes: Nanoparticles Inspiring Future Materials
They look like tiny soccer balls, but they make leafhopper insects highly water-repellent. Get a closer look at brochosomes and new research on their unique properties.
They look like microscopic soccer balls, but they give leafhopper insects a highly water-repellent, anti-reflective coating. Get a closer look at brochosomes and the latest research into how their properties could one day be emulated in human-made materials. /by @insects247.bsky.social
