Inspiration comes from Nature, where one of the most common interfaces, the one formed by a generic protein and water, has yet to be fully understood.  Indeed, at such interfaces, proteins present molecular-sized patches of varying hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity. This patchiness is prevalent in Nature but its role is mysterious and hence a fertile ground for a curious scientist. In SuNMIL …

Exciting Announcement

Exciting news – We are a Top 20 finalist in the Global Change Award 2025! The Global Change Award, run by H&M Foundation, is an innovation challenge supporting visionary changemakers with bold ideas to help decarbonise fashion. With our innovation, on new approaches to recycle protein-based materials like wool and silk (see the video here), we are hoping to be one of the 10 winners announced in May. #globalchangeaward #fashioninnovation
