Abstract: We study colloidal (or smectic) membranes composed of chiral rod-like particles through Monte Carlo simulations. These objects are formed due to the presence of Asakura-Oosawa spheres acting as depletants and creating an effective attraction between… read more here.

Abstract: Significance Three-dimensional shaping of thin sheets and membranes is a ubiquitous feature of materials science and underlies diverse biological processes, ranging from large-scale morphogenesis to molecular drug delivery. It is also a familiar everyday phenomenon,… read more here.
