Light-switchable deposits from evaporating drops containing motile microalgae
Marius R. Bittermann, Daniel Bonn, Sander Woutersen +1
Deposits from evaporating drops have shown to take a variety of shapes, depending on the physicochemical properties of both solute and solvent. Classically, the evaporation of drop…
Phase Separation by Entanglement of Active Polymerlike Worms
A. Deblais, A. C. Maggs, D. Bonn +1
We investigate the aggregation and phase separation of thin, living T. tubifex worms that behave as active polymers. Randomly dispersed active worms spontaneously aggregate to form…
Relaxing the aquaporin crystal structure in a membrane with surface vibrational spectroscopy
L. Schmüser, M. Trefz, S. J. Roeters +7
High-resolution structural information on membrane proteins is essential for understanding cell biology and for structure-based design of new medical drugs and drug delivery strate…
Liquid-liquid transition in supercooled aqueous solution involving a low-temperature phase similar to low-density amorphous water
Sander Woutersen, Michiel Hilbers, Zuofeng Zhao +1
The striking anomalies in physical properties of supercooled water that were discovered in the 1960-70s, remain incompletely understood and so provide both a source of controversy…
