Organic nanoparticles

(Thanks to Elizabeth for calling my attention to this one.)

The small and flexible nanoparticles fit easily into even the tiniest crevices, thereby allowing ivy to generate enough force for climbing and giving it an incredible affixing power, which anyone who has ever tried to remove the resilient vine can attest to.

I will be very happy when my ivy plants increase their production of organic nanoparticles.
