Nanoparticles Binding to Lipid Membranes: from Vesicle-Based Gels to Vesicle Inversion and Destruction
Derek A. Wood, Sarah Zuraw-Weston, Ian K. Torres +9
Cells offer numerous inspiring examples where proteins and membranes combine to form complex structures that are key to intracellular compartmentalization, cargo transport, and spe…
Self-Assembly on a Cylinder: A Model System for Understanding the Constraint of Commensurability
D. A. Wood, C. D. Santangelo, A. D. Dinsmore
A crystal lattice, when confined to the surface of a cylinder, must have a periodic structure that is commensurate with the cylinder circumference. This constraint can frustrate th…
Self-assembled contacts to nanoparticles using metallic colloidal spheres
C. R. Knutson, K. D. McCarthy, R. Shenhar +5
The spontaneous assembly of particles in suspension provides a strategy for inexpensive fabrication of devices with nanometer-scale control, such as single-electron transistors for…
Grain Boundary Scars and Spherical Crystallography
A. R. Bausch, M. J. Bowick, A. Cacciuto +6
We describe experimental investigations of the structure of two-dimensional spherical crystals. The crystals, formed by beads self-assembled on water droplets in oil, serve as mode…
Hard Spheres in Vesicles: Curvature-Induced Forces and Particle-Induced Curvature
A. D. Dinsmore, D. T. Wong, Philip Nelson +1
We explore the interplay of membrane curvature and nonspecific binding due to excluded-volume effects among colloidal particles inside lipid bilayer vesicles. We trapped submicron…
