Evolved interactions stabilize many coexisting phases in multicomponent liquids

Kavli Affiliate: Liedewij Laan | First 5 Authors: David Zwicker, Liedewij Laan, , , | Summary: Phase separation has emerged as an essential concept for the spatial organization inside biological cells. However, despite the clear relevance to virtually all physiological functions, we understand surprisingly little about what phases form in a system of many interacting […]
