An amphiphile is a molecule graced with a dual nature, possessing both Hydrophilic (water-loving) and lipophilic (fat-loving) properties. This unique characteristic enables them to spontaneously form structures such as Micelles or vesicles in aqueous solutions, fundamental to biology and various technologies.
