In this work, we unveiled the underlying mechanism of the selfdivision of active coacervate droplets, which is related to the maturation of droplets, leading to small, glassy domains within the original droplet. Balancing the maturation rate with the lifetime of the droplets leads to tiny speckles that dissolve roughly a minute later than the original droplets. We can tune the number of offspring each droplet produces and for how long they survive. We show that additional molecules are passed from the original droplet to the offspring. Finally, the daughters can be rescued and become the next generation when additional fuel is supplied after division. We envision the self-division mechanism as a critical development toward synthetic life. For example, when the droplets are combined with self-replicating molecules, they are passed on to the next generation through our new self-division mechanism.
