Abstract :
We have recently developed a new optical tool (wet photolithography) to etch biomimetic fluids submerged in aqueous environments. It created an array of stable holes within a phospholipid bilayer-a synthetic mimic that: captures many properties of cell membranes-simply by patterned illumination of samples using deep ultraviolet light.
