When shaken, these molecules self-assemble into phospholipid membranes around the oil and water droplets, resembling cell structures. Bilayer vesicles form around water droplets, with a phospholipid layer on the inside contacting the water and tails of both layers squeezing out anything between them. This demonstration shows how cell membranes rea
