She showed that the properties of protein condensates are very much different from any common liquids that we are familiar with in everyday life. Micropipette aspiration, a technique that doesn&#8217;t work very well on measuring common liquids, was able to accurately quantify droplets of an RNA binding domain of the P granule RNA helicase LAF-1. Plus, both surface tension and viscosity of the droplets are measured in one experiment!
