UofL scientists invent antimicrobial surfaces inspired by cicada wings

University of Louisville / By

By Betty Coffman, UofL:  Discoveries in nature often inspire scientists to create things that benefit people. For example, the wings of the North American annual cicada – whose distinctive sound heralds the end of summer – are inhospitable to bacteria, antireflective, hydrophobic and provide camouflage. “We often look to Mother Nature for interesting things. When …
