ITHACA, New York, Dec. 23 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
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.
