An Active Matter Pathway for Non-Equilibrium Liquid-Liquid Extractions
Jude C. Obijiaku, Oladipupo P. Ogolo, Damilola E. Fadipe +2
We report on a Marangoni flow-driven pathway for non-equilibrium transport of metal ions across an oil-water interface. Under specific conditions, we show that the adsorption of a…

Depletant-DNA Induces Chirality in the Condensed Domains of Lyotropic Liquid Crystals
Zeba Afia Hasan, Elizabeth Adeogun, Harold Hatch +2
We report on the phase behavior of solutions of a chromonic liquid crystal, disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) resulting from the presence of DNA that acts as a depletant. We show that D…

Liquid Crystalline Assembly of Collagen for Deterministic Alignment and Spread of Human Schwann Cells
Homa Ghaiedi, Luis Carlos Pinzon Herrera, Saja Alshafeay +3
Collagen is a key component of the extracellular matrix and well-oriented domains of collagen are relevant for mimicking the local cell environment in vitro. While there has been s…
