liquid droplet suspended between a pair of electrodes in dielectric
oil is exposed to a direct current (DC) electric field, the
droplet moves between the pair of electrodes periodically and deforms under the intense DC electric field (Fig. 1).
«Although surface engineering facilitates effective
liquid manipulation and enables water
droplet self - transportation on synthetic surfaces, self - transportation of
oil droplets posed a major challenge because of their low surface tension,» explains Postdoctoral Researcher Xuelin Tian.
The researchers placed these
liquid crystals into water
droplets, which in turn were placed in
oil, producing an emulsion.
FUS proteins can change back and forth from small
liquid droplets (resembling
oil droplets in water) to small gels (like jelly) inside nerve cells.
What makes bijels remarkable is that, rather than just making the spherical
droplets that we normally see when we try to mix
oil and water, the particles at the interface shape the
liquids into complex networks of interconnected fluid channels.
The boundaries are formed instead by a
liquid -
liquid phase separation, a bit like
droplets of
oil floating in salad dressing.
In the new study, she and her colleagues have now shown that FUS aggregation results from a
liquid -
liquid phase separation analogous to the gradual coalescence of
oil droplets dispersed in an
oil - water emulsion.
It's a
