a-c, When temperature increases from room temperature (20 °C) to higher temperature (e.g., 90 °C), the NLCO filamentous structures reversibly evolve back into spherical micro-droplets. c-e, Then, during re-cooling, the spherical micro-droplets evolve back into filamentous structures. The drop morphology can be transformed repeatedly, remaining quantitatively similar. Here, multiple small drops evolve in the field-of-view; data in the main text showed only one large evolving drop in Fig. 1c–h. Scale bar: 20 μm.
