Great work. Check it out!
Read our recent work in #Small @AdvPortfolio
We demonstrated charge guided selective co-assembly of peptides allowing for governing β-sheet alignment, co-assembly kinetics, fiber nanomorphology, & network structure.

New publication! Here, we presented a label-free methodology using in vitro tests, OrbiSIMS & SRS to reveal how cosmetic peptides penetrate human skin, self-assemble with endogenous molecules, and restore skin hydration and mechanics bit.ly/3D0HDHN @Mata_Lab @UoN_BDI

We often think of an "equilibrium" as something standing still, like a scale in perfect balance.
But many equilibria are dynamic, like a flowing river which is never changing—yet never standing still.
These dynamic equilibria are nicely described by so-called "detailed balance"
