Directed percolation identified as equilibrium pre-transition towards non-equilibrium arrested gel states

Gels exhibit very slow dynamics, for which a structural reason remains elusive. Here, Kohl et al. show the gel formation is accompanied by a succession of continuous and directed percolation, with only the latter found to lead to the arrested dynamics.
