Researchers have identified a new physicochemical principle governing liquid–liquid phase separation in polymer solutions.

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

A water wash has been found that effectively recovers the solvent in the IFPEXOL process by pulling dissolved methanol into water for subsequent removal. The water-solvent mixture and hydrocarbon have ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation is not a precursor to formation of amyloid fibrils, a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, shows study. Rather, the formation of protein into liquid droplets ...

Scientists have discovered the first evidence of protein folding driven by liquid-liquid phase separation, a phenomenon in which fluids form into microscopic droplets and separate inside cells -- like ...

New findings could help scientists explain why hexanucleotide expansions in the C9ORF72 gene are the major cause of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). In ...

Oil and water are both liquids, but they don't mix well, demonstrating a phenomenon known as liquid-liquid phase separation. In recent years, scientists have found that cells use phase separation, in ...
