Issue 4, 2008 (inside)

Experimental images of cell-particle biomembranes assembled on a chip in the foreground and e-field simulation images that explain the assembly dynamics in the background.
DOI: 10.1039/b803763a

Issue 5, 2008

A charged spherical colloid is embedded in a linearly elastic compressible hydrogel. When subjected to a steady electric field, electrical and hydrodynamic forces displace the particle and deform the surrounding polymer network.

Issue 2, 2008 (inside)

Amphiphilic nanocrystallo-polymers self-assemble into various nanostructures, i.e. spherical aggregates, core-shell unimolecular micelles and cylinders, where the nanocrystals are uniformly arranged.
DOI: 10.1039/b800328a
