Le diatomee si trasformano in mini-robot viventi per ripulire gli habitat - @LaStampa

We are very excited to start this groundbreaking and multidisciplinar project @GREENS_dn , which has received funding from Horizon Europe – Marie Skłodowska-Curie, and has just been featured on @Corriere

To celebrate 10 years of developing diatom-based nanomaterials at the @FarinolaGroup, this Perspective article has just been published! A checkpoint on the state of the art. The best things is we still have so many ideas! https://t.co/ebzgqOKqtm

Are all microbes electroactive? ⚡️ In this perspective, @digelleonid, @bonnerobin and @kartiksaiyer explore how microbial electroactivity could be a universal metabolic trait spanning across the domains of life. Read more here:

Absolutely thrilled to see our most recent work, and the culmination of my Ph.D. thesis, published on @ACSSustainable. Living Diatom Microalgae for Desiccation-Resistant Electrodes in Biophotovoltaic Devices! @FarinolaGroup @ACS4Authors https://t.co/z0cZOcE8IB

Far-sighted work where Living Diatom are used for Desiccation-Resistant Electrodes in Biophotovoltaic Devices 🤩 @Cesar_VicenteG @VonaDanilo @GrattieriLab

Congrats to @Cesar_VicenteG on his last paper 📄 Living Diatom Microalgae for Desiccation-Resistant Electrodes in Biophotovoltaic Devices!!! ⚡️ @FarinolaGroup #bioelectrochemistry

Extremely happy to see this review out in @NatRevChem and very proud of @Cesar_VicenteG at @IMDEA_Nano @IQOG_CSIC. Synthesis, self-assembly, characterization, properties and applications of Lipopeptides https://t.co/4tESpICZnl #peptides #lipids #selfassembly #systemschemistry

Lipopeptides as tools in catalysis, supramolecular, materials and medicinal chemistry https://t.co/zUadjWzANB A new review from @Cesar_VicenteG and @Ignacio_Colomer from @IMDEA_Nano @CSIC

I am enormously happy to share our recently published review on @NatRevChem and grateful to @Ignacio_Colomer at @IQOG_CSIC @IMDEA_Nano. Synthesis, self-assembly, characterization and applications of Lipopeptides https://t.co/nWFHa7tNm1 #peptides #selfassembly #systemschemistry

@EurSocPhotobiol congress is always a place to build bridges, meet new generation of photobiologists and make great memories through photographs like the congress photo group… this will be part of our future memories from 20th congress from August 27-31, 2023. #ESP2023Lyon

Last week I had the pleasure to show our latest results on Biophotoelectrochemistry with microalgae at the XXXIV Conference of the Italian Society of Photobiology. It was a great opportunity to do networking and getting feedback. See you next year! #SIFB2023 #Photobiology #Lecce

Today the BEEP ESRs had a workshop on how to consider their career strategies and how to work on their CVs with the career consultant Marloes Tijssen!

This time, we met in the Natural History Museum London to hold the BEEP Annual Meeting! It's always such a joyful moment when we are all gathered in person. Some are missing from this picture, but they were here! We are so glad to have such a wonderful group of collaborators ❤️🌈

But I also want to thank all the members of the @FarinolaGroup, past and present, from the youngest to the seniors: in these years I have learned so much from each of you, and I know that I will miss you ALL! And now, it's time for a new beginning... (2/2)

This morning we had a fascinating talk by @maxxtrotta: "From photons to protons in biological systems". This led to a dynamic discussion on how we envision solutions to #energetic #challenges and the time-scale we look at when thinking of new #technologies.

We show you fluorescent #anemones, and we explain structural colour using soap bubbles and #opals. We also show how to make simple #hydrogels, some cool iridescent #bacteria and #seaweeds, and you can have a look at #diatoms under the microscope! For any age from 8 y.o.

It has been a pleasure to bring light and colours closer to people and specially to kids. Thanks to my fellow BEEPers and to the #FestivalDellaScienza for this opportunity!

Souvenir from the Festival della Scienza: The BEEP logo reflected in bubbles. We used the soap bubbles to illustrate structural colour to the audience, and some of us became masters in bubble-making! ✨
