Many biomolecular condensates, including transcriptional condensates, are formed in
elastic mediums. In this work, we study the nonequilibrium condensate dynamics in a …

Elastic microphase separation refers to equilibrium patterns that form by phase separation in
elastic gels. Recent experiments revealed a continuous phase transition from the …

Recent experiments demonstrated the emergence of regular mesoscopic patterns when
liquid droplets form in an elastic gel after cooling. These patterns appeared via a continuous …

While biomolecular condensates are often liquidlike, many experiments found that
condensates also exhibit solidlike behaviors, making them indissoluble in conditions liquid …

The mechanical properties of biological materials are spatially heterogeneous. Typical
tissues are made up of a spanning fibrous extracellular matrix in which various inclusions …

Cavitation has long been recognized as a crucial predictor, or precursor, to the ultimate
failure of various materials, ranging from ductile metals to soft and biological materials …

Biomolecular condensates play a crucial role in regulating gene expression, but their
behavior in chromatin remains poorly understood. Classical theories of phase separation …

Various biological and chemical processes lead to the nucleation and growth of non-wetting
fluid bubbles within the pore space of a soft porous medium, such as the formation of gas …
