Physical Mechanism of Vacuole Formation in Liquid Droplets
Pranay Jaiswal, Ivar S. Haugerud, William Verstraeten +3
The paper explains how empty cavities (vacuoles) can appear inside liquid droplets through a local spinodal instability, and provides a non‑equilibrium thermodynamic framework to p…

Excitability and oscillations of active droplets
Ivar S. Haugerud, Hidde D. Vuijk, Job Boekhoven +1
In living cells, cycles of formation and dissolution of liquid droplets can mediate biological functions such as DNA repair. However, the minimal physicochemical prerequisite for s…
