A minimal model for liquid-liquid phase separation and aging of chemically reactive macromolecular mixtures
Ruoyao Zhang, Sheng Mao, Mikko Haataja
Mixtures of several macromolecular species can lead to the formation of higher-order structures that often display non-ideal mixing behavior. In this work, we propose a minimal mod…

Non-uniform growth and surface friction determine bacterial biofilm morphology on soft substrates
Chenyi Fei, Sheng Mao, Jing Yan +5
During development, organisms acquire three-dimensional shapes with important physiological consequences. While the basic mechanisms underlying morphogenesis are known in eukaryote…

Phase behavior and morphology of multicomponent liquid mixtures
Sheng Mao, Derek Kuldinow, Mikko P. Haataja +1
Multicomponent systems are ubiquitous in nature and industry. While the physics of few-component liquid mixtures (i.e., binary and ternary ones) is well-understood and routinely ta…
