Protein complexes that play a critical role in launching an immune response assemble in droplets that form within the liquid environment in cells much like oil droplets in water, scientists report in ...

There are hundreds of molecules and many structures packed into cells, and living cells can be a lot more complex than they appear in textbooks. The cytoplasm of cells is typically full of different ...

An area in molecular engineering that holds great promise is understanding the physical foundations of phase transitions, especially that of intrinsically disordered and ordered proteins. Phase ...

While the phenomenon of phase separation has historically been a problem for glass producers, it is now known to offer advantages in the production of certain materials such as glass ceramics and ...
