We have mineralized bacterial collagen produced from E. coli to fabricate biomineral composites with different functions. This work is now available online in the journal Biomedical Materials. Congra
In this article, we report the synthesis of protein-capped perovskite nanocrystals in water. Proteins allow these nanocrystals to be stable for several weeks in aqueous environments! We performed th
