Excited to see this published! We show that multiple distinct liquid phases can be engineered within a single sample—and that, when densely packed, they behave collectively as a jammed multicomponent material that undergoes a coalescence-driven unjamming phase transition.

We’re excited to share our new work in Soft Matter: doi.org/10.1039/D5SM... We demonstrate how in vitro transcription can drive biomolecular phase separation — and how that phase separation in turn regulates transcription.
