Fabrication of Artificial Leaf to Develop Fluid Pump Driven by Surface Tension and Evaporation

Plants transport water from roots to leaves via xylem through transpiration, which is an evaporation process that occurs at the leaves. During transpiration, suction pressure is generated by the porous structure of mesophyll cells in the leaves. Here, we fabricate artificial leaf consisting of micro...
