Biophysical alterations of lipid membranes upon peroxidation are linked to cellular signalling and disease. Here, we show how lipid peroxidation breaks the correlation between the membrane’s elastic and viscous properties; and how it triggers lipid clustering in single-component membranes.

Alan Turing proposed one of the most influential theories of morphogenesis, in which a system of diffusive and reactive chemicals can produce stationary (and other types) spatial patterns. We explored the effect of periodic feeding of the reactive chemicals on pattern development and stabilty.

Our group started to study more advanced optimization techniques using machine learning to present a simpler, more practical, and rapid process for predicting the optimum reaction conditions that can be applied to several manufacturing environmentally sustainable processes. 

In bacterial photosynthesis, the excitation energy transfer from carotenoids to bacteriochlorophyll a has a significant impact on the overall efficiency of the primary photosynthetic process. This efficiency can be enhanced when the involved carotenoid has intramolecular charge-transfer character.

We report a ternary MOF-based photocatalyst Pt@NH2-UiO-66/CdS with a spatially separated structure for the hole-trap transfer pathway in the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction processes.
