In this collaboration with Brent and Prof. Stupp, we used light to make a "PIZZA PIE" with lot of peptide topping. #Gianneschi International Institute for Nanotechnology Brent Sumerlin Sumerlin Research Group #GeorgScheutz #TristanClemons onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

ACS Macro Journals Ice is more helpful than heat to overcome the entropy penalty during ROMP of low strain cyclic olefin monomers, leading to well-defined degradable polymers which were inaccessible at ambient temperatures and above. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Melanin is found in all life on Earth. In this Perspective, the role of chemical synthesis is described, unraveling the structure and function of this ubiquitous yet enigmatic biomaterial @wei19425955 Xuhao Zhou Matthew Shawkey @arthijayaraman Dimitri D Deheyn acspubs.co/5Nmh50DBGs8

We are so proud of Zhao, Jun, and the rest of our materials team "shaking" their way to mechanically adaptive materials for their work published today in Nature Materials! doi.org/10.1038/s41563…

Congratulations, Hao!

Congratulations!!!

Herein, we demonstrate that the hydrophobicity of polymer backbones plays a pivotal role in governing the proteolytic stability of peptide brush polymers, an emerging class of synthetic proteomimetics or protein-like polymers.#GianneschiGroup Monica Olvera de la Cruz pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Science can lead in unexpected directions. For researchers led by Nathan Giannneschi, what began with a look at the glue used by underwater mussels led to a new strategy for creating protein-like polymers and a promising new biomedical adhesive. iinano.org/mussels-underw…

Catalyzing a self-assembly process is considered to be rather challenging: we achieved it with a very simple catalyst — electrons! Check out our research article in nature entitled “electron-catalyzed molecular recognition” Fraser Stoddart Northwestern nature.com/articles/s4158…

Please check out our latest work published in Nature Chemistry ! We revealed the role of vibronic coupling in ultrafast symmetry-breaking charge seperation in a slip-stacked perylenediimide oligomer system. nature.com/articles/s4155…
