Solvent‐Mediated Dewetting Principles for Cell‐Sized Liposome Formation
Small, EarlyView.Dynamics of solvent‐mediated dewetting for giant unilamellar liposome formation. Solvent removal, through changing lipid packing and membrane tension, is shown to induce partial dewetting into equilibrium low and high budding angle morphologies. Complete dewetting requires mechanical force, quantified using optical tweezers.

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.Merging materials processing tricks inspired by mussel and mistletoe fiber fabrication, solutions of cationic mussel byssus proteins were mixed with modified anionic nanocrystalline cellulose, producing distinctive core‐shell condensates. Simple processing of condensate suspensions using freeze‐drying produced hierarchically structured porous protein ...

Evolution of oil droplets in a chemorobotic platform [PDF]
, 2014 Evolution, once the preserve of biology, has been widely emulated in software, while physically embodied systems that can evolve have been limited to electronic and robotic devices and have never been artificially implemented in populations of physically

Non-linear protocell models: synchronization and chaos [PDF]
The European Physical Journal B, 2010 We consider generic protocells models allowing linear and non-linear kinetics for the main involved chemical reactions.We are interested in understanding if and how the protocell division and the metabolism do synchronize to give rise to sustainable evolution of the protocell.

What Does “the RNA World” Mean to “the Origin of Life”?
Life, 2017 Corresponding to life’s two distinct aspects: Darwinian evolution and self-sustainment, the origin of life should also split into two issues: the origin of Darwinian evolution and the arising of self-sustainment. Because the “self-sustainment” we concern

Norm-Establishing and Norm-Following in Autonomous Agency [PDF]
, 2013 Living agency is subject to a normative dimension (good-bad, adaptive-maladaptive) that is absent from other types of interaction. We review current and historical attempts to naturalize normativity from an organism-centered perspective, identifying two ...
