Offshore oil spills, industrial oily wastewater, and domestic oil pollution are some of the most
serious global challenges, and are leading environmental causes of morbidity and mortality …

This review highlights recent efforts on applying electron microscopy (EM) to soft (including
biological) nanomaterials. We will show how developments of both the hardware and …

Peptide self-assembly provides an innovative strategy for not only establishing an ideal
research model to understand life phenomena but also for constructing sophisticated …

Liquid− liquid phase separation of multivalent intrinsically disordered protein− RNA
complexes is ubiquitous in both natural and biomimetic systems. So far, isotropic liquid …

Membrane-less organelles resulting from liquid–liquid phase separation of biopolymers into
intracellular condensates control essential biological functions, including messenger RNA …

Water is more than an inert spectator during liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS), the
reversible compartmentalization of protein solutions into a protein-rich and a dilute phase …

DNA has the potential to achieve a controllable macromolecular structure, such as
hydrogels or droplets formed through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), as the design of …

Innovations in liquid‐phase electron microscopy (LP‐EM) have made it possible to perform
experiments at the optimized conditions needed to examine soft matter. The main obstacle is …

Molecular self-assembly is pervasive in the formation of living and synthetic materials.
Knowledge gained from research into the principles of molecular self-assembly drives …

Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) was the basis for the 2017 Nobel Prize in
Chemistry for its profound impact on the field of structural biology by freezing and stabilizing …
