Crystallization is a well-explored natural phenomenon where atoms or molecules arrange themselves into highly organized solid ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and crystallization are intertwined phenomena of considerable importance in both fundamental research and industrial applications, particularly in the ...

Researchers have investigated the non-equilibrium phase behavior of localized liquid-liquid phase separations (LLPS). The ...

Researchers have identified a new physicochemical principle governing liquid–liquid phase separation in polymer solutions. Their research demonstrates that during the separation of a polymer mixture ...

Princeton bioengineer Clifford Brangwynne has been named a 2025 Keio Medical Science Prize Laureate for his discovery of liquid-liquid phase separation in cells. Japan’s Keio University awards the ...

Genetic engineers can design and assemble sophisticated gene circuits to program cells with new functions, but important signaling molecules can become diluted as these cells grow and divide, causing ...

Several industries require essential processes for separating mixtures into their constituent substances. Advancing research, scientists from Japan have now developed a novel, versatile, and ...

The principle of centrifugal separation is ancient, but its modern industrial application is a feat of precision engineering.

Researchers used cloud point measurements to construct a phase diagram. The solid lines represent the droplet density, while the dashed lines represent the solution density. Crystallization is a ...
