New Paper: “Modular software for generating and modelling diverse polymer databases”

Machine learning has the potential to revolutionize the design of new functional materials, but building the large and diverse databases of molecules required for training these methods remains a challenge. Automated computational chemistry workflows have become an essential tool in this data-driven search for new materials with novel properties, providing …

New Paper: “Directly imaging emergence of phase separation in peroxidized lipid membranes”

Lipid peroxidation is a critical process in cell signaling and disease, and has been exploited in cancer therapy through photodynamic therapy. The presence of hydrophilic moieties in the bilayer’s hydrocarbon core can dramatically alter the structure and mechanical behavior of membranes. In collaboration with Marina Kuimova’s group at Imperial College …

New Paper: “Conformational Heterogeneity and Interchain Percolation Revealed in an Amorphous Conjugated Polymer”

In this manuscript,  we provide new fundamental insights into the nanoscale structure of an archetypal donor-acceptor conjugated polymer, poly(9,9-di-n-octylfluorene-alt-benzothiadiazole (F8BT). F8BT is a widely-studied conjugated polymer, which is used in a variety of different application areas due to its bright fluorescence and biocompatibility, usually in the form of conjugated polymer …
