A quick intro to Phase Separation

Ink and water mix but oil and water don’t. We all know this. But why? Mixing and demixing are relevant processes for many different systems: from the air, you breathe to metallic alloys on your car wheels, and to the smoothie on your breakfast. Recent research shows that these processes also take place inside cells! Biomolecules can be mixed with the liquid interior of the cell. Sometimes these molecules demix and form droplets like oil in water. A mechanism to assemble these droplets is assembled through a process called Phase Separation. This video is a short introduction to the physics of Phase Separation.

Amazing content. This just helped me understand a concept I've been trying to grasp for a while now.

So when the oil molecules got close enough together, interaction energy decreased? And the lower their interaction energy, the stronger the interaction between these molecules? Thank you for the videos! They're so easy to digest compared to the other sources I tried.
