Active motility and wetting cooperatively regulate liquid-liquid phase separation
Dixi Yang, Anheng Wang, Chunming Wang +2
Liquid--liquid phase separation in aqueous two-phase systems is fundamental across physical and biological sciences. While well understood for passive mixtures, how it is regulated…

Wetting-coupled phase separation as an energetic mechanism for active bacterial adhesion
Dixi Yang, Anheng Wang, Jia Huang +4
The rapid adhesion of motile bacteria from dilute suspensions poses a fundamental non-equilibrium problem: hydrodynamic interactions bias bacterial motion near surfaces without gen…
