Polymer chemists and materials scientists have achieved some notable advances that mimic Nature, but one of the most common and practical features of cells has so far been out of reach — intracellular compartmentalization. Now researchers tell how they take advantage of differences in electrical charge to create an ‘all aqueous,’ water-in-water construct that achieves compartmentalization in a synthetic system.
