This review gives a brief overview of experimental approaches used to assess the bending
rigidity of membranes. Emphasis is placed on techniques based on the use of giant …

Complex fluid-fluid interfaces are common to living systems, foods, personal products, and
the environment. They occur wherever surface-active molecules and particles collect at fluid …

Coacervates droplets have long been considered as potential protocells to mimic living
cells. However, these droplets lack a membrane and are prone to coalescence, limiting their …

Encapsulation of drugs within nanocarriers that selectively target malignant cells promises to
mitigate side effects of conventional chemotherapy and to enable delivery of the unique drug …

Capsules of micron and sub-micron dimensions are abundant in nature in the form of
