Phase separation in fluid dynamics encompasses the processes by which a homogeneous fluid mixture evolves into two or more distinct phases, typically through mechanisms such as spinodal decomposition, ...

The very first life on earth is thought to have developed from 'protocells' -- liquid mixtures of many different types of molecules. Researchers have now shown that in such mixtures, small imbalances ...

While the phenomenon of phase separation has historically been a problem for glass producers, it is now known to offer advantages in the production of certain materials such as glass ceramics and ...

Recent studies have shown that liquid-liquid phase separation – akin to how oil droplets form in water – leads to formation of diverse types of membraneless organelles, such as stress granules and ...

A new technical paper titled “Nonvolatile electrochemical memory at 600°C enabled by composition phase separation” was published by researchers at University of Michigan and Sandia National ...

Gradient elution involves a programmed change in mobile-phase composition over time, transitioning from weak to strong during a separation. Linear gradients, characterized by a constant change in ...
