Description:: Melanin is a functional biopolymer most commonly associated with human skin pigmentation, where it serves as a radiation protection agent, shielding us from the harmful effects of UV radiation. However, melanin is also present in human ears, eyes, hair, and brains, serving a variety of functions. In fact, melanin...

Description:: SAMDI-MS (Self-Assembled Monolayers for MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry) couples the use of chemically-defined self-assembled monolayers of alkane thiolates on gold surfaces with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for rapid characterization of the surfaces. Reactions performed on the surfaces can be quantified directly by detection of the reaction substrates and products. This rapid detection...

Description:: One of the grand challenges in science is development of soft materials that mimic living organisms to optimize the way we use energy, translate or morph reversibly or sense their envi- ronment and respond in a useful fashion. Using the insights from studying biological structures, we hope to design soft...
