Topological colloids [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2012
Abundant in nature, colloids also find increasingly important applications in science and technology, ranging from direct probing of kinetics in crystals and glasses to fabrication of third-generation quantum-dot solar cells. Because naturally occurring colloids have a shape that is typically determined by minimization of interfacial tension (for ...

Investigating colloid-associated transport of cadmium and lead in a clayey soil under preferential flow conditions

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2021
Colloids have a high adsorption capacity and can be mobile under preferential flow, and so may facilitate heavy metal migration. Heavy metal migration with soil colloids in a clayey soil under preferential flow conditions was investigated through ...

Reversible morphology-resolved chemotactic actuation and motion of Janus emulsion droplets

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Artificial microswimmers can emulate the autonomous regulation of chemotactic motility of living organisms. Frank et al. realize a chemotactic locomotion of emulsion droplets, composed of two phase-separated fluids, that can be reversibly directed up or ...

Wetting and complex remodeling of membranes by biomolecular condensates

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Cells compartmentalize parts of their interiors into liquid-like condensates, which can be reconstituted in vitro. Although these condensates interact with membrane-bound organelles, their potential for membrane remodeling and the underlying mechanisms ...

Radiolysis of NaCl at high and low temperatures: development of size distribution of bubbles and colloids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
New experimental results are presented on low temperature irradiation (18 °C) of rock-salt samples which had been exposed to initial doses up to 320 GRad at 100 °C.

Colloidal trains

open access: yesSoft Matter, 2020
Colloidal trains consisting of colloidal doublet locomotives and single colloidal carriages self assemble above a magnetic square pattern and are driven by an external magnetic field processing around a high symmetry direction.

Controlled division of cell-sized vesicles by low densities of membrane-bound proteins

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Membrane fission of a cell into two daughters is a core ability of cell-based life. Here the authors show that in artificial cells division can be controlled by regulating membrane curvature using low protein density.

Leaflet Tensions Control the Spatio-Temporal Remodeling of Lipid Bilayers and Nanovesicles

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
Biological and biomimetic membranes are based on lipid bilayers, which consist of two monolayers or leaflets. To avoid bilayer edges, which form when the hydrophobic core of such a bilayer is exposed to the surrounding aqueous solution, a single bilayer ...

Metamachines of pluripotent colloids [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
AbstractMachines enabled the Industrial Revolution and are central to modern technological progress: A machine’s parts transmit forces, motion, and energy to one another in a predetermined manner. Today’s engineering frontier, building artificial micromachines that emulate the biological machinery of living organisms, requires faithful assembly and ...
