Active Membrane Fluctuations Studied by Micropipet Aspiration [PDF]
, 2001 We present a detailed analysis of the micropipet experiments recently reported in J-B. Manneville et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 4356--4359 (1999), including a derivation of the expected behaviour of the membrane tension as a function of the areal strain ...

From supported membranes to tethered vesicles: lipid bilayers destabilisation at the main transition [PDF]
, 2006 We report results concerning the destabilisation of supported phospholipid bilayers in a well-defined geometry. When heating up supported phospholipid membranes deposited on highly hydrophilic glass slides from room temperature (i.e.

Formation of Oligovesicular Vesicles by Micromanipulation
Membranes, 2011 Cell-sized lipid bilayer membrane vesicles (giant vesicles, GVs) or semi-vesicles were formed from egg yolk phosphatidylcholine on a platinum electrode under applied electric voltage by electroformation.

Investigating Unipolar Switching in Niobium Oxide Resistive Switches: Correlating Quantized Conductance and Mechanism [PDF]
, 2018 Memory devices based on resistive switching (RS) have not been fully realised due to lack of understanding of the underlying switching mechanisms. Nature of ion transport responsible for switching and growth of conducting filament in transition metal ...

Unification of bulk and interface electroresistive switching in oxide systems [PDF]
, 2008 We demonstrate that the physical mechanism behind electroresistive switching in oxide Schottky systems is electroformation, as in insulating oxides. Negative resistance shown by the hysteretic current-voltage curves proves that impact ionization is at ...

Low-cost equipment for electroformation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
HardwareX, 2018 Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) constitute a very useful model for biomembranes. They are usually generated by electroformation using sinusoidal potential waves applied between two platinum electrodes or electrodes composed of glasses covered by indium

Functional reconstitution of a voltage-gated potassium channel in giant unilamellar vesicles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Voltage-gated ion channels are key players in cellular excitability. Recent studies suggest that their behavior can depend strongly on the membrane lipid composition and physical state. In vivo studies of membrane/channel and channel/channel interactions
