The paper shows that liquid droplets swim toward conditions that favor their dissolution, introducing the term dialytaxis.

This study identifies how actin and microtubules position stress granules through complementary physical mechanisms.

The paper investigates the micron-scale organization of Coscinodiscus diatom frustules, revealing competing organizational tendencies that lead to a frustrated triangular lattice with defect accumulation near the center.

The paper investigates the Kar9 network in yeast, showing it forms a multivalent, liquid-like condensate at microtubule tips that persists during growth and shrinkage and functions as a mechanical coupling device.

The paper investigates how stress granules interact with microtubules in human cells, finding non-specific adhesive forces that influence droplet deformation and network structure.

This paper demonstrates a system of protein droplets that sustain enzymatic activity and flow, mimicking cellular environments and metabolic processes.

The paper describes the evolution of single gyroid photonic crystals in bird feathers from ancestral quasi-ordered structures, highlighting their potential for multi-functional applications.
