Faceting and flattening of emulsion droplets: a mechanical model
Ireth García-Aguilar, Piermarco Fonda, Eli Sloutskin +1
When cooled down, emulsion droplets stabilized by a frozen interface of alkane molecules and surfactants have been observed to undergo a spectacular sequence of morphological trans…
Measuring Gaussian rigidity using curved substrates
Piermarco Fonda, Sami C. Al-Izzi, Luca Giomi +1
The Gaussian (saddle splay) rigidity of fluid membranes controls their equilibrium topology but is notoriously difficult to measure. In lipid mixtures, typical of living cells, lin…
Dislocation screening in crystals with spherical topology
Ireth García-Aguilar, Piermarco Fonda, Luca Giomi
Whereas disclination defects are energetically prohibitive in two-dimensional flat crystals, their existence is necessary in crystals with spherical topology, such as viral capsids…
