Beautiful !

Bacterial cells are filled with molecules, which can sort by size and jam up, causing the cytoplasm to become locally glassy. State-switching of ribosomes during active protein translation serves as a dynamic force to keep the cytoplasm fluid. In PNAS Nexus: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ad...
