Phase separation fundamentally governs material properties and cellular function on multiple organizational scales. Conventional approaches to studying this nonlinear phenomenon necessitate resource-intensive experiments. As such, investigations were limited to low-dimensional space. We present PhaseXplorer, a platform that combines microfluidics, microscopy, and machine learning to efficiently study phase separation systems. PhaseXplorer autonomously designs, generates, and analyzes samples in a closed-loop activ…
