Nonequilibrium interfacial properties of chemically driven fluids

Yongick Cho, William M. Jacobs

Chemically driven fluids can demix to form condensed droplets that exhibit phase behaviors not observed at equilibrium. In particular, nonequilibrium interfacial properties can eme…

Interplay between self-assembly and phase separation in a polymer-complex model

Tianhao Li, W. Benjamin Rogers, William M. Jacobs

We present a theoretical model for predicting the phase behavior of polymer solutions in which phase separation competes with oligomerization. Specifically, we consider scenarios i…

Active learning of the thermodynamics-dynamics tradeoff in protein condensates

Yaxin An, Michael A. Webb, William M. Jacobs

Phase-separated biomolecular condensates exhibit a wide range of dynamical properties, which depend on the sequences of the constituent proteins and RNAs. However, it is unclear to…

Theory and simulation of multiphase coexistence in biomolecular mixtures

William M. Jacobs

Biomolecular condensates constitute a newly recognized form of spatial organization in living cells. Although many condensates are believed to form as a result of phase separation,…

Macroscopic DNA-programmed photonic crystals via seeded growth

Alexander Hensley, Thomas E. Videbaek, Hunter Seyforth +2

Photonic crystals -- a class of materials whose optical properties derive from their structure in addition to their composition -- can be created by self-assembling particles whose…

Programmable phase behavior in fluids with designable interactions

Fan Chen, William M. Jacobs

We introduce a method for solving the "inverse" phase equilibria problem: How should the interactions among a collection of molecular species be designed in order to achieve a targ…
