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.

New from us in @pnas.org :
We considered the limits of condensate diversity, and engineered DNA droplets to form 9 distinct, homotypic, coexisting phases. Very hard to do this except with nucleic acids. Probably you can make more than 9. (1/3)
