Polymers that repel each other can parse into phase-separated droplets

This artist's rendering depicts researchers' discovery of how mixtures of polymers that repel each other can parse into phase-separated droplets, like oils in a lava lamp. Interaction between droplets and the cell wall limits the size of the droplets and causes bubbling of the outside of the ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.
