Spider silk showcases a unique blend of strength, extendibility, and versatility tailored for various purposes including prey capture, shelter construction, and reproduction. With properties ...

A study published in Nature Physics provides new molecular-level evidence from simulations that liquid water is not a single ...

Crystallization is a well-explored natural phenomenon where atoms or molecules arrange themselves into highly organized solid forms called crystals. This phenomenon has been widely utilized across ...

The deposition of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide into amyloid fibrils is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Recently, it has been reported that some proteins can aggregate and form amyloids through an ...

A recent study, led by Professor Wu (Wenzhou Institute University, Wenzhou Medical University) and Professor Huang (Northeastern University), explores liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS), a ...

Combining concepts from statistical physics with machine learning, researchers at the University of Bayreuth have shown that highly accurate and efficient predictions can now be made as to whether a ...

Researchers at UC San Diego have produced what may be the strongest computational evidence yet that liquid water can split into two distinct forms under extreme cold and high pressure. Their findings, ...

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 ...

Chemidroplet is a chemical tool, that fused the BTB-containing domain to the multivalent DNA binding domain (DBD) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) to readily control the LLPS of these ...

Understanding liquid states of water at very low temperatures is important for earth sciences and biology but is difficult because supercooled liquid water is very unstable. A new computational study ...

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 ...
