To a leaf, a falling raindrop is equivalent in mass to a bowling ball dropping on a person so how does the leaf survive? New research elucidates the raindrop’s impact and the physical dynamics that help the leaf respond, with potential applications for agriculture and renewable-energy harvesting.   Click here to read the story.
