A fortuitous convergence of my PhD work on jamming and my postdoc research on biomolecular phase separation. Never hesitate to step into a new field—you always carry the concepts and intuition from your past with you.
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.
