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, ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

The film "The Colloidal State" explores the concept of colloids, which are materials in a dispersion where small particles of one substance are distributed throughout another. It distinguishes ...

The geochemical cycle of uranium, the stability of ore deposits, and its general distribution among mobile and immobile phases strongly depends on phase and species oxidation states and corresponding ...
