Una colaboración impresionante con la gente del Institute Laue Langevin de Grenoble y su reflexometria de neutrones sobre superficies líquidas.
Todo para ver qué tenemos en la superficie de nuestros pulmones para poder mantenerlos abiertos.
¡Gracias @armanmaestro y a todo el ILL!

I am pleased that this paper has finally been published! It includes data from my PhD thesis, showing how to evaluate protein orientation upon membrane binding.

It's a great work that employs several biophysical techniques, such as neutron reflectometry.
