Learning from nature: Scientists create new material inspired by leaves to separate oil from water for cleaning up oil spills

(Natural News) Scientists have developed 3-D printed solutions to solve one of the most devastating man-made disasters. They looked at leaf structure to create a material that can separate oil and water, which has potential applications in safer and more efficient oil spill clean-up methods. The researchers used 3D printing to mimic a biological phenomenon in leaves...
