Cooperative effects of membrane confinement and gelation on PEG crystallization pathway
Masaki Yoshida, Naoya Yanagisawa, Fumiya Kanie +5
Lipid-coated microscale hydrogels provide confined, hydrated environments in which polymer phase behavior can differ markedly from that in bulk. Here, we investigate the crystalliz…

Real-space observation of salt-dependent aging in Laponite gels
Shunichi Saito, Sooyeon Kim, Yuichi Taniguchi +1
Colloidal gels gradually evolve as their structures reorganize, a process known as aging. Understanding this behavior is essential for fundamental science and practical application…

Role of Motility and Nutrient Availability in Drying Patterns of Algal Droplets
Anusuya Pal, Anupam Sengupta, Miho Yanagisawa
Sessile drying droplets in various bio-relevant systems, encompassing passive bio-colloids like DNA, proteins, and blood to active microbes, gain considerable attention due to intr…
