Tracking the baryon number with nuclear collisions

Baryon quantum number is found to be conserved since baryogenesis in the early Universe. Conventionally, each fractionally charged valence quark is understood to carry one-third of a baryon number. An alternative hypothesis posits that baryon number is instead carried by a baryon...

Liquid–liquid phase separation in a minimal explicit-solvent lattice model mimicking protein solutions

Biomolecular condensates play an essential role in cellular processes, and recent studies have focused on understanding their assembly and rational design principles. In this work, we have employed an explicit-solvent minimal statistical mechanical model based on the lattice-gas...
