Further insight into fibril formation has now been gained that reveals the effect of hydrophobic surfaces, including air. Previous work had investigated amyloid formation in the presence of ...

An ongoing collaboration with the group of Prof. Julio Fernandez in the Biology Department has already led to significant advances in various topics, such as the effect of hydrophobic interactions in ...

the small and large scale hydrophobic effect, the design of polarizable force fields for water and complex molecules, and recently the biophysics of proteins and especially protein-ligand binding.

Scientists at Al-Azhar University in Egypt have developed a hydrophobic nanocoating with a self-cleaning effect that can reportedly increase the efficiency of solar panels by up to 30.7%.
