Nymphaeaceae, naturally, are water-lillies. These researchers are looking at the behavior of single-atom sheets of graphite-oxide. By floating them on a pool of water, they can examine how the sheets interact when they bump against each other:
"The effect reminded the researchers of water lilies on a pond, and Huang asked his sister to help to create a Chinese water painting similar to that of Claude Monet's series of paintings "Water Lilies" to demonstrate the idea. The artwork was chosen as one of the first illustrated covers for the 130-year-old journal."
