Autonomous mesoscale positioning emerging from myelin filament self-organization and Marangoni flows

Buckling instabilities in amphiphile-based lamellar systems can lead to the formation of tubular fingers. Van der Weijden et al. show how to shepherd their growth and destination by using drain droplets that help establishing stable interconnected mesoscale droplet networks.
