New in The Innovation Materials! Sustainable photopolymer design towards a circular 3D printing. Can 3D printing be truly circular? EPFL researchers highlight two novel photopolymer resins that are fully depolymerizable and reprintable without performance loss. A milestone for sustainable additive manufacturing. @Innov_Materials doi.org/10.59717/j.xinn-mate… #GreenChemistry #CircularEconomy #3DPrinting

Nature research paper: Stabilizing effect of amino acids on protein and colloidal dispersions go.nature.com/46mDR6d

Stabilizing effect of amino acids on protein and colloidal dispersions

Nature - Amino acids possess a new and broad colloidal property: they stabilize patchy nanoscale colloids, such as proteins, by adsorbing onto their surfaces through weak interactions.

I am hiring at the PhD or Postdoc level. I am looking for motivated candidates willing to work on a challenging project at the frontiers of what we understand of protein colloidal stability.

It has taken a lot of work and a long journey, at the end we show that there is a colloidal way amino acids stabilize proteins. A great collaboration with Alfredo Alexander-Katz that proposes new theory on colloidal stability. Just published in @Nature rdcu.be/eFrqm
