Our TS2CG tool has already inspired some (read: Matthieu Chavent) to create a whole series of new artefacts, opening an entire new field of science. Advanced Memterials ? Membrengineering ? Who comes up with a catchy name ?

We can already envision the next steps, e.g., simulating fusion of two bunnies, or what would you get putting a Martini glass and a bunny together  in a simulation box ? And what would it take to stabilize these highly-curved objects with the right type of lipids and curvature stabilizing proteins ?

Of course the real challenge is now with the experimentalists to make these lipid based nano devices in the lab ....
