JCIS publication by M. Šako and M. Kanduč: How plants keep their water intact
It’s often thought that liquids cannot be stretched — pull on them, and they simply break by forming bubbles. Yet remarkably, plant sap flows under negative pressures of up to –100 atm without forming bubbles. We show that amphiphilic molecules … Read More
