Prof. Chen Shensheng (left) and PhD student Wu Zongpei (right) simulated the whole process of liquid-liquid phase separation from start to finish, revealing how mussels instantly glue themselves to rocks. Their research holds significant implications for developing instant biocompatible surgical glues and programmable smart materials.
