TL;DR Summary

Researchers have observed a loophole in the fundamental principle of physics that like charges repel each other, finding that like-charged particles can attract each other over long distances in certain liquids. This behavior was observed in water and specific alcohols, and was attributed to the molecular nature of the liquids, leading to the emergence of an "electrosolvation force" at distinct pH ranges. The researchers believe this discovery could aid in understanding biomolecular condensates and their relevance to human diseases.
