Physicist Peter Yunker applies mathematical equations to enemy colonies of dueling cholera bacteria to accurately predict the speed dynamics of their phase separation into divided territories, a process similar to the separation of oil and water. The equations were originally used to describe phase separate in materials, namely mixed metals (Model A equations). Credit: Georgia Tech / Rob Felt
