Listening to lipid membranes

ORAL

Abstract

Fluctuations of giant unilamellar vesicle and cell membranes are detected with exceptional resolution. The motion of localized membrane (<1 μm cross-section) is resolved with 5 decades in both frequency (1 Hz - 100 kHz) and amplitude (0.01 nm - 100 nm). This allows to listen to surprises in underlying membrane mechanics
