Bayreuth researchers have found ways to control tiny particles in liquids using magnetic patterns. The research results have now been published in Nature Communications under the title "Simultaneous ...

Researchers furthered our understanding of the crystallization process in confined spaces by visualizing the ordering of colloidal particles in a droplet. The team conducted real-time microscopic ...

In nature, the skin of cephalopods (animals with tentacles attached to the head) exhibits unparalleled camouflage ability. Their skin contains pigment groups that can sense changes in environmental ...

Engineers discover unusual properties in magnetized colloids that surprisingly adhere to the physics described by Kelvin's equation, which models the thermodynamics of molecular systems. Small spheres ...

Colloidal nanoparticles are particles that operate at the nanoscale, specifically between 1 to 1000 nanometers, suspended in a fluid. These nanoparticles can consist of various materials, such as ...

Colloidal gold consists of microscopic particles of gold suspended in liquid and is usually red or purple. It comes from shale or clay deposits. There has been much debate about the health benefits of ...

Students will learn how to categorize matter as either pure substances or mixtures. Students will apply tests, based on physical properties of matter samples, to determine whether a mixture is ...

(Nanowerk News) Small spheres suspended in a liquid move enough like molecules that the physics for one can be used to mimic the physics of the other. That’s why the discovery of some unusual physics ...

HOUSTON – (March 14, 2022) – Small spheres suspended in a liquid move enough like molecules that the physics for one can be used to mimic the physics of the other. “It’s like trying to blow a bubble ...
