• Rhythms caused by artificial lipid membrane
( 1 ) Excited artificial lipid membrane
It has been known that lipid high molecular mosaic membrane formed through self-organization reacts to chemical matters and the sense of taste.
Here, it's shown as an example that an artificial membrane made of lipid is excited.
Excitation is one of the main characters of nervous cell membrane.
But, this character is not limited to biomembrane made of lipid and protein.
Lipid membranes shown here are self-organized at equilibrium state, they show excitations as seen in nerve cells at non-equilibrium state.
Namely, this is convenient to observe self-organizations on both states of equilibrium and non-equilibrium.
