Dragonfly wings, lotus leaves, cicada wings — thanks to millennia of evolution, nature has optimized the ways these surfaces and others behave to offer antibacterial functionality.

They discuss the surface structures and chemical compositions for an ideal implant material in the journal Applied Physics Reviews.
