DOI: 10.1038/srep41448
Abstract: Among diverse methods for drag reduction, superhydrophobicity has shown considerable promise because it can produce a shear-free boundary without energy input. However, the plastron experiences a limited lifetime due to the dissolution of trapped air… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1748-5967.12423
Abstract: Eggs of the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus are fully covered with an air‐covering plastron network that enables them to stay below the surface of the water. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the chorionic surface… read more here.

DOI: 10.4314/ovj.v9i1.7
Abstract: Many projects have been developed in the last years for the conservation of sea turtles. Young green turtles (Chelonia mydas) often nest on the Brazilian coast. Because they nest in beaches along the coastline and… read more here.
