The plastic memebrane has hourglass shaped pores immitating pores found in plants that enables small mollecules to pass through while blocking larger ones.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released a five-chapter preview of the much-anticipated online Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF).
