Sound Waves Used to Create Protective Crystal Coatings on Crops
Researchers at RMIT University have developed an acoustomicrofluidic coating process that uses high-frequency sound waves to apply protective crystalline layers to fragile surfaces, including living plant leaves. By transforming liquid droplets into a fine mist, the method avoids the heat and harsh chemicals typically required for covalent organic framework (COF) applications, enabling safer manufacturing for … Read more
