In this Review, we aim to provide an updated summary of the research related to hollow
micro-and nanostructures, covering both their synthesis and their applications. After a brief …

Cryo-transmission electron microscopy, c-TEM, has during the last 10 years contributed
significantly to the understanding of the numerous, and often complex, structures formed by …

Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) was the basis for the 2017 Nobel Prize in
Chemistry for its profound impact on the field of structural biology by freezing and stabilizing …

Hollow polymer particles with dimensions in the submicrometer region possess great
potential for encapsulation of large quantities of and large sized guest molecules into their …

Lipid vesicles (liposomes) are closed structures in which (at least) one lipid bilayer
separates an aqueous inner compartment from the bulk external aqueous medium, as in …

Hierarchic self-assembly underpins much of the form and function seen in synthetic or
biological soft materials. Lipids are paramount examples, building themselves in nature or …

Abstract “It takes a membrane to make sense out of disorder in biology. You have to be able
to catch energy and hold it, storing precisely the needed amount and releasing it in …

Silica‐coated vesicles have been produced by the deposition of silica onto unilamellar
vesicles from aqueous solution for the first time. The quaternary ammonium surface of the …

Vesicle templating presents a unique opportunity to construct submicrometer hollow
particles. These authors give an overview of recent developments, discussing both …

Hollow polymer spheres of styrene and divinyl benzene can be templated from catanionic
equilibrium vesicles formed by cetyltrimethylammonium tosylate (CTAT) and sodium …
