Increasing phospholipid biomimicry governs water permeability in droplet interface bilayers
Droplet, EarlyView.Increasing phospholipid biomimicry in droplet interface bilayers alters how membranes respond to “membrane‐active molecules” such as cholesterol and niacin. This shows that membranes made using synthetic lipids can overestimate small‐molecule effects, highlighting the importance of using biomimetic lipid compositions to improve physiological relevance ...

Droplet friction on superhydrophobic surfaces
Droplet, EarlyView.By developing an experimental setup that simultaneously measures the friction force, macroscopic shape profile, and the macro‐ and microscopic contact line dynamics of a laterally sliding droplet, this study establishes an analytical model that predicts droplet friction on pillared superhydrophobic surfaces relying only on surface geometrical ...
