Nanoparticles of CdS with radii of 4 or 50 nm are formed in a controlled fashion inside lipid giant vesicles. For this purpose, two protocols are developed: electrofusion of differently loaded vesicles and slow vesicle content exchange via lipid nanotubes (see image). The process of particle formation can be directly monitored with fluorescence microscopy. The approach can be used to form any kind of nanoparticle.
