We all know we must re-capture CO2, but how much #CO2 can we really capture? Better converting it into something useful! Have a look to our latest work on #amyloids & #enzymes mimicking #photosynthesis, the Calvin Cycle in @acsnano - Well done @TonghuiJin.

Imagine replacing single-use food packaging plastic films with biodegradable and sustainable smart packaging films based on #amyloids from food waste and natural dyes detecting food spoilage by colour changes: this is now reality:. Congrats @Mohpey1 et al!

What makes a specific #protein to #misfold into irreversible vs reversible #amyloids? This question has long remained unanswered, but not any longer. Wanna know more? Please read our latest publication @NatureComms Great collaboration with @JohnnyZhou1511
