Tracer-free Contactless Acoustic Microrheometry Quantifies Viscoelastic Spectrum of Phase-separated Condensates

The rheology of phase-separated condensates plays a central role in applications spanning advanced materials design and cellular processes, yet quantitative characterization of their viscoelasticity remains challenging due to the limitations of existing microrheological methods that require tracer particles or mechanical contact. Here, we establish tracer-free and contactless acoustic microrheometry as a versatile platform for quantifying the frequency-dependent complex shear modulus of single microscale condensates over 0.01-10 Hz. Using spatiotemporally controlled acoustic radiation force generated within a micro-acoustic resonator, this method deforms condensates for creep-recovery and oscillatory viscoelastic measurements. Quantitative validation using dextran condensates in a polyethylene-glycol continuous phase successfully captures their size- and frequency-dependent mechanical responses, while application to nucleic-acid condensates reveals salt-dependent internal viscoelastic changes at single-condensate resolution. By enabling quantitative dissection of condensate mechanics without invasive probes, acoustic microrheometry provides a broadly applicable framework for investigating phase-separated condensates across materials science, soft matter physics, biology, and beyond.

Contraction-free quantum state encoding by quantum tunneling in single molecules

Quantum computing is a unique computational approach that promises tremendous performance that cannot be achieved by classical computers, although several problems must be resolved to realize a practical quantum computing system for easy use. Here, we propose a new system and theory for quantum computing that employs single molecule confinement between electrodes. The striking features of this system are (i) an individual molecule that exhibits quantum tunneling can be regarded as a sequence of quantum gates, (ii) the quantum tunneling can be encoded onto an array of quantum bits and observed without the contraction of superposition states, and (iii) quantum computing by quantum tunneling can be performed at room temperature. An adenine molecule is adopted as the single molecule between electrodes, and conductance data are encoded onto quantum states including entangled states, depending on the conductance values. As an application of the new quantum system, molecule identification based on quantum computing by quantum tunneling is demonstrated.
