This article presents a topical review of coarse grain simulation techniques. First, we
motivate these techniques with illustrative examples from biology and materials science …

When a two-dimensional (2D) film is compressed to its stability limit, it explores the third
dimension via collapse. Understanding this 2D-to-3D transition is of great importance as it …

Lipid monolayers at an air–water interface can be compressed laterally and reach high
surface density. Beyond a certain threshold, they become unstable and collapse. Lipid …

The contrast agent Definity™ has recently been shown to have substantial nonlinear activity
at high ultrasound frequencies (> 10 MHz). In this study, measurements were performed to …

The composition of the pulmonary surfactant and the border conditions of normal human
breathing are relevant to characterize the interfacial behavior of pulmonary layers. Based on …

Ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles have expanded the utility of biomedical ultrasound
from anatomic imaging to the assessment of microvascular blood flow characteristics and …

The interfacial convection in multilayer systems is a widespread phenomenon that is of great
importance in numerous branches of technology, including chemical engineering, space …

Langmuir monolayers have provided experimentally accessible models for studies of lung
surfactants at the air-alveolus interface since the medical necessity of lung surfactant was …

Langmuir isotherms, fluorescence microscopy, and atomic force microscopy were used to
study lung surfactant specific proteins SP-B and SP-C in monolayers of …

The behavior of monolayers of monodisperse prolate ellipsoidal latex particles with the
same surface chemistry but varying aspect ratio has been studied experimentally. Particle …
