Physicists model how attractive forces drive molecular condensate movement

phys.org

Physicists developed a model showing attractive forces between molecular condensates can cause them to chase each other. This emergent behavior, observed in a minimal two-droplet system, demonstrates how cells can dynamically organize through simple attraction, leading to unexpected movement. The findings offer insights into cellular organization and could aid in designing self-propelling molecular machines.
