Mixtures of cold bosonic atoms in optical lattices undergo demixing on different length scales with increasing interspecies repulsion. As a general rule, the stronger the intraspecies interactions, the shorter is this length scale. The wealth of phenomena is documented by illustrative examples on both superfluids and Mott insulators.
