A new method for decorating spores with polymer nanoparticles to create an intricate surface morphology has been developed by scientists at the University of Warwick, UK.
Nicholas Ballard and Stefan Bon investigated the behaviour of these hybrid particles at the liquid–liquid interfaces. The particles show very different behaviour from their spherical analogues which shows that roughness of the surface matters.
