Protein molecules then embed and float in the surface of the bilayer. This is an excerpt from a video that iemedia solutions (http://www.iemedia.co.uk) produced for the Scientific Instrumentation Division of the Farfield Group (http://www.farfield-group.com) to illustrate the measurement capabilities of their Dual Polarisation Interferometry technology.

As a result of the two separate relative position acquisitions, a real-world XYZ position measurement is possible, and the result is presented to the user in mm distance from a reference point between the devices. System performs position measurement with 16-bit precision in a 20 degree FOV cone at distances up to 10m. …

Beam is modulated with playstation video signal and scanned with mirrors. Horizontal scanning freq. 15625Hz; Vertical scanning freq. 50Hz.
Colour video is possible with RGB laser. Dimensions of the picture increases with distance and limited only by the capacity of the laser source.
Fields of application: Video monitoring (TV,cinema, etc.), large scale projections (advertisement, home cinema, projectors,disco lights); printers without toner; fast scanning data recorders (CD,DVD, etc. without motors); receiving systems (scanner, camera, detector, radar… replacing the laser with a photomultiplier), and many other real-time, real-space scientific, medical, commercial, industrial, military applications of scanning radiation.

On this size scale, it is extremely difficult and expensive to fabricate analogs of macroscale engineering, such as grippers. Drawing inspiration from biological fabrication in nature, engineers are seeking to self-assemble structures from the bottom up. This manufacturing paradigm has been largely unexplored in human engineering since the process is generally perceived to be indeterminable and uncontrollable.

The Gracias Lab at Johns Hopkins has developed a relatively easy, precise, and cost-effective process by which the 2D templates of semi-tethered “faces” can self-assemble into controlled 3D structures by utilizing the natural phenomena of surface tension. This video highlights the development, manufacturing process, and proposed functions (cell encapsulation devices and controlled drug delivery carriers) of our self-assembling nanoliter containers.

The lipids are deposited in a solution of chloroform, which then evaporates. When the chloroform evaporates, the hydrophilic head of the lipid aligns to the water. The lipids are then collected and pressed together to form a sheet

This animation doesn’t have any particular meaning, it is just a demonstration of molecular visualization capabilities of a program I’ve been working on.
