title: Why can artificial membranes be fabricated so rapidly in microfluidics?
abstract: Droplet interface bilayers are a convenient tool to produce and explore lipid membrane properties. We discuss why their formation time in microfluidics can be three to six orders of magnitude faster compared to conventional bulk settings.
