Researchers at Rice University have developed a new method for performing chemical reactions using water instead of toxic ...

Nanoviricides are composed of micelles with up to 1,200 chemically attached ligands on their surface. These ligands mimic the cellular receptors targeted by the relevant virus or class of virus.

New micellar technology from Rice University enables chemical reactions in water, lowering environmental impact and improving efficiency in chemical processes.

Reverse micelles (RMs) are fascinating structures formed by surfactant molecules that create nanometer-sized droplets of polar solvents in a nonpolar environment. These structures have garnered ...

Micellar water is a type of facial cleanser composed of micelles—tiny spherical structures made of surfactants (cleansing agents) suspended in soft water. These micelles attract dirt ...

Her lab is currently working on two primary projects. The first project involves the synthesis of amphiphilic block copolymers that assemble into nanostructured micelles in aqueous media. These ...
