Abstract: Mechanical stimuli direct reversible intramembrane positioning of flat rigid microdomains on scales up to tens of micrometers. We demonstrate how manipulating curvature in an elastic fluid lamella enables the reversible relative positioning of flat, rigid,… read more here.

DOI: 10.7566/jpsj.88.024008
Abstract: The interaction between two inclusions embedded in a fluid membrane is studied analytically. We consider the case that the inclusions of a convex disk can change the curvature of the membrane aroun... read more here.
