TL;DR: A microfluidic device, the millipede device, which forms drops through a static instability such that the fluid volume that is pinched off is the same every time a drop forms, which makes the operation of the device very robust.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates a straightforward and versatile approach to GUV fabrication with precise control over theGUV size, lipid composition and the formation of microdomains within the GUV membrane.

TL;DR: In this paper, a coarse-grained approach was used to determine areas where buffel grass can potentially invade in Mexico through genetic algorithms, and the most threatened vegetation types for the specific case of Sonora were desert scrub, mesquite woodlands, and tropical deciduous forest.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the outstanding stability of foams generated from sufficiently concentrated “catanionic” surfactant mixtures can be explained by a synergy effect between two fundamentally different mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the foaming properties of aqueous dispersions containing mixtures of silica nano-particles (Ludox TMA) and a short-chain amphiphile (n-amylamine) and showed that stable foams can be obtained at amine concentrations above approximately 0.5 wt%, which appears to be a critical concentration for cooperative association between particles and amine.
