Designing new building blocks of matter with concepts of geometry and shape in mind is giving rise to a generation of new exciting materials 1,2. Shape has a fundamental role in self-assembly as it ...

DNA-coated colloids hold great promise for self-assembly of programmed heterogeneous microstructures, provided they not only bind when cooled below their melting temperature, but also rearrange so ...

Designing and building custom-made structures at the microscopic scale is a fundamental goal in nanotechnology. Many self-assembly approaches have the advantage of being autonomous in that no external ...

Natural organic matter can change As speciation via redox reactions and complexation influencing its mobility and toxicity. Here we show that binary and ternary colloids and dissolved complexes of ...

You are free to share (copy and redistribute) this article in any medium or format and to adapt (remix, transform, and build upon) the material for any purpose, even commercially within the parameters ...

Objective To compare the haemodynamic effect of crystalloids and colloids during acute severe hypovolaemic shock. Design Exploratory subgroup analysis of a multicentre randomised controlled trial ...

Compared with the well equipped arsenal of surface modification methods for flat surfaces, techniques that are applicable to curved, colloidal surfaces are still in their infancy. This technological ...

Polymer colloids play a key role in drug delivery systems, electroluminescent devices, paints & coatings, and paper industries, etc. The role and function of any colloid depends majorly on its ...

Colloids are simply fine particles of solids, liquids, or gases suspended in a fluid. And you can find colloidal systems almost everywhere in nature and in industrial processes, such as in butter, ...

When we zoom in to microscopic dimensions a world reveals itself, the one where small objects rule. Small particles, droplets, organisms, and nano-patterns have a tremendous influence on the ...
