Colloid-colloid and colloid-wall interactions in driven suspensions [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2007 We investigate the nonequilibrium fluid structure mediated forces between two colloids driven through a suspension of mutually noninteracting Brownian particles as well as between a colloid and a wall in stationary situations. We solve the Smoluchowski equation in bispherical coordinates as well as with a method of reflections, both in linear ...

Nature, 2020 Self-assembling colloidal particles in the cubic diamond crystal structure could potentially be used to make materials with a photonic bandgap1-3. Such materials are beneficial because they suppress spontaneous emission of light1 and are valued for their applications as optical waveguides, filters and laser resonators4, for improving light-harvesting ...

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

Controlled division of cell-sized vesicles by low densities of membrane-bound proteins
Nature 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
Biomolecules, 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 ...

Molecules, 2023 The immense potential of active colloids in practical applications and fundamental research calls for an efficient method to synthesize active colloids of high uniformity. Herein, a facile method is reported to synthesize uniform organic–inorganic hybrid

Nature Communications, 2016 AbstractOutermost occupied electron shells of chemical elements can have symmetries resembling that of monopoles, dipoles, quadrupoles and octupoles corresponding to filled s-, p-, d- and f-orbitals. Theoretically, elements with hexadecapolar outer shells could also exist, but none of the known elements have filled g-orbitals.

Metal-free photoanodes for C–H functionalization
Nature Communications, 2023 Organic semiconductors, such as carbon nitride, when employed as powders, show attractive photocatalytic properties, but their photoelectrochemical performance suffers from low charge transport capability, charge carrier recombination, and self-oxidation.

Different pathways for engulfment and endocytosis of liquid droplets by nanovesicles
Nature Communications, 2023 In this work, the authors investigate on how condensate droplets, arising from liquid-liquid phase separation, can be engulfed by nanovesicles via distinct pathways, leading to different vesicle-droplet morphologies.
