TL;DR: In this paper, the authors harnessed the molecular interactions of a set of artificial intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and created complex microparticle geometries, including porous particles, core-shell and hollow shell structures, by exploiting the metastable region of the phase diagram of thermally responsive IDPs within microdroplets.

TL;DR: It is shown that the molecular weight of the reaction products is nearly monodisperse, and can be manipulated by the feed ratio of nucleotide (monomer) to oligonucleotide (initiator), as typically observed for living polymerization reactions.

TL;DR: In this article, saturated fatty acids of different chain lengths and of 9-cis-octadecenoic acid were physisorbed onto regenerated cellulose surfaces to study their effect on friction and adhesion Lateral and normal force measurements on these surfaces were carried out at different humidities using an atomic force microscope with chemically functionalized silicon nitride cantilevers.

TL;DR: This work shows the capability of microcantilever deflection sensors to detect an induced-fit interaction at test concentrations of 8 microg/mL gp120 and 0.17 mg/mL 17b.

TL;DR: Overall, this work was able to predict the salt-responsive morphology of polyelectrolyte materials in aqueous solution and show that a spherical-cylindrical-lamellar change in morphology can be obtained through an increase in solvent ionic strength or a decrease of poly Electrolyte length.
