Physicists discover attractive forces between molecular condensates may cause running off

Physicists have discovered that molecular condensates can exhibit 'chasing' behavior driven solely by attractive forces, mimicking non-reciprocal interactions. This finding, published in Physical Review Letters, challenges the assumption that only attractive forces lead to stationary states.
Why it matters
Understanding these dynamics provides new insights into cellular organization and the engineering of nonequilibrium materials.
