Force-decomposition mechanotyping reveals capillary and bulk-viscoelastic regimes in phase-separated condensates.

The mechanics of liquid-liquid phase-separated (LLPS) condensates are commonly interpreted using a capillary-fluid picture, in which droplet response is governed by interfacial tension and viscous dissipation. This framework explains many synthetic coacervates and simple phase-separated liquids, but its applicability t...
