Researchers have developed a model system for so-called soft colloids. The model gives us a better understanding of correlations between the atomic structure of colloids and their perceptible material ...

IT is stated in the preface that this book has passed through three large editions in Germany. We are inclined to think that such success was due more to the fact that it was first in the field as a ...

Occasionally referred to as ‘colloidal gold,’ gold colloid is a suspension comprising sub-micron gold nanoparticles suspended in a solvent - most commonly water. Gold nanoparticles' distinct ...

Being abundant in nature, colloids find increasingly important applications in science and technology, ranging from direct probing of kinetics in crystals and glasses to fabrication of ...

image: Researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, discover how certain colloids can form a solid-like gel and reveal how the mechanism differs from glasses. view ...

Colloidal nanocrystals (CNs) are artificially grown inorganic particles stabilized by surfactants. Those smaller than 10 nm can transform their optical and electronic properties and exhibit a quantum ...
