Biomineralization processes show a high degree of control over the morphology, orientation,
and organization of inorganic materials to create remarkably complex patterns.'One …

Phospholipids comprise an enormous range of chemical structures that provide much of the
functionality associated with cellular membranes. We have developed a simple method for …

Lipid vesicles are designed with functional chemical groups to promote vesicle fusion on
template-stripped gold (TS Au) surfaces that does not spontaneously occur on …

We have demonstrated a new approach for imaging nanoscale patterns on three-
dimensional submicrometer structures using charged particles. Nanoparticle structures were …

Lipid molecules can self-assemble in liquid media into open-ended, hollow cylindrical
structures, which are composed of rolled-up bilayer membrane walls. The resultant lipid …

Hollow tubule-shaped microstructures have been fabricated by self-organization of
polymerizable diacetylenic phospholipid molecules. These microstructures have potential …

Phospholipids containing diacetylene moieties along their hydrocarbon chains have been
extensively studied for their ability to self-assemble into tubule structures from aqueous and …

We show that striped phases of horizontally oriented phospholipids presenting 1-nm-wide
orientable dipole arrays can order and straighten flexible 2-nm-diameter gold nanowires …

Tubules have been formed at pH 5.6 from the negatively charged diacetylenic phospholipid
1, 2-bis (tricosa-10, 12-diynoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphohydroxyethanol in the presence of …

Conventional lipid-tube formation is based on either a tube phase of certain lipids or the
shape transformation of lamellar structures by applying a point load. In the present study …
