The droplets repel each other owing to the electrostatic repulsion; hence, they move away from each other although they are dispensed at the same position.
Using iterative point repulsion, noise is diffused away leaving a locally equidistributed point set with a blue noise spectral signature.
In qualitative terms, the change of sign in the PCC reflects a competition between two effects: an energetic attraction between DPPE-biotin and saturated lipids, favoring alignment of Lo domains, vs a curvature-induced repulsion of these lipids away from the actin fibers.
Although he begs the white men around him to "speak of me as I am," he turns their fear and repulsion inward, where it eats away at his soul.
The repulsion of the polymer jets away from one another caused by these forces could therefore increase both the inter-spinneret distance and time of deposition.
It is shown that, in structures with close eigenvalues, small structural irregularities result in both strong localization of the mode shapes and abrupt veering away, or mutual repulsion, of the loci of the eigenvalues when these are plotted against a parameter representing the disorder in the system.
This is consistent with our hypothesis that EphA receptor-mediated contact repulsion enhances cancer cell migration away from neighbouring cancer cells into free space, which could enhance their local dissemination from a primary tumour mass.
The octahedral charge sites of hectorite, submerged within the clay layer, are too far away to counteract this repulsion effectively.

Attraction's opposite is repulsion or aversion, the force that pushes away.
