This study uses acoustic trapping to measure the mechanical properties of single biopolymer condensates, showing it can detect changes in bulk modulus under different environmental conditions.

The paper develops acoustic-radiation-force microscopy to measure nucleus viscoelasticity in live cells, showing high mechanical homeostasis in human mesenchymal stem cells.

This study investigates how the fusion of biomolecular condensates, influenced by ageing and mixing rates, leads to the formation of multiphase structures with distinct material properties.
