title: Vesicle-to-micelle oscillations and spatial patterns.
abstract: A pH oscillator is coupled to and controls rhythmic interconversion of nanoscopic vesicles and micelles made of fatty acids. When changes in pH are combined with diffusion, self-assembly produces spatially extended patterns of vesicle/micelle "stripes" or concentric "shells".
