Fig. 4: Diverse responses to solubility-perturbing solutes.

From: Phase-separated droplets swim to their dissolution

Fig. 4

(top) passive droplets are attracted to mixture-stabilizing solutes and repelled from droplet-stabilizing solutes. Opposing gradients can lead to no net motion. (bottom) Droplets producing mixture-stabilizing (resp. droplet-stabilizing) solutes swim toward (resp. away from) each other. Droplets producing competing solutes can chase each other.
