Abstract

Molecular self-assemblies exhibiting automatic motions have received much attention as potential artificial models of living organisms. We have developed a microfluidic picolitre nozzle-array device to form multilamellar lipid tubes (MLTs) under fluidic shear stress, which transformed into different two patterns (yarn-balls and double-helixes) and also exhibited unique self-actuation behaviors.
