      abstract     = {The realization that the cell is abundantly
                      compartmentalized into biomolecular condensates has opened
                      new opportunities for understanding the physics and
                      chemistry underlying many cellular processes, fundamentally
                      changing the study of biology. The term biomolecular
                      condensate refers to non-stoichiometric assemblies that are
                      composed of multiple types of macromolecules in cells, occur
                      through phase transitions, and can be investigated by using
                      concepts from soft matter physics. As such, they are
                      intimately related to aqueous two-phase systems and
                      water-in-water emulsions. Condensates possess tunable
                      emergent properties such as interfaces, interfacial tension,
                      viscoelasticity, network structure, dielectric permittivity,
                      and sometimes interphase pH gradients and electric
                      potentials–. They can form spontaneously in response to
                      specific cellular conditions or to active processes, and
                      cells appear to have mechanisms to control their size and
                      location–. Importantly, in contrast to membrane-enclosed
                      organelles such as mitochondria or peroxisomes, condensates
                      do not require the presence of a surrounding membrane.},
