Phase Diagrams are graphic representations that help understand many physical systems such as magnets and pure substances like water. These diagrams also help us understand how dense droplets of biomolecules, called Biomolecular Condensates, form inside cells. Phase Diagrams predict under which conditions these condensates can form and also what will be their molecular concentration. Watch this quick intro to learn more! References: -Video C.
