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 ...

Particles are of a colloidal size if their size falls in the range of 1 to 1000nm. A colloid is system whereby colloidal particles are suspended in a continuous medium. They are stable and do not ...

Imagine a "smart fluid" whose internal structure can be rearranged just by changing temperature. In a new study published in ...

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 ...

A colloidal solution is a uniform dispersion of two completely different types of components—particles or droplets of one phase, called the solute, in a second, typically liquid, phase, called the ...

Urine is a highly saturated solution of extremely complicated composition. Its basic organic constituents are urea, uric acid and its salts, formed by the oxidation of purines. In that fluid, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Colloids are mixtures containing solids in liquid or liquid in liquid and all of these contain distinct solid (and/or liquid) particles which are dispersed to various degrees in a liquid medium. The ...

Professor Joongoo Kang's team from the Department of Physics and Chemistry at DGIST and Professor Sohee Jeong's team from the Department of Energy Science at Sungkyunkwan University have developed a ...
