Congratulations to Umberto for the publication! The paper (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/adma.202104837) presents a strategy to produce programmable liquid droplets via liquid-liquid phase separation of associative zwitterionic polymers. With this approach, multiple properties of the droplets can be finely tuned, opening attractive applications in bioseparation and diagnostics. The work has been featured on the front cover of Advanced Materials.
