The coil/globule transition of polymers in solution is a favourite topic of discussion among polymer theoreticians. Here, this phenomenon is used to play a “molecular accordion” built with a thermosensitive polymer anchored to liposomes, a tune which mimics a natural process occuring in cell membranes.
