Self-organization of soft-matter components can create complex and beautiful structures. But the intricate structures created by adding a second stage of organization could reveal more than just a ...

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 ...

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 ...

A colloidal solution is a uniform dispersion of two different types of components—particles or droplets of one phase, the solute, in a second (typically liquid) phase, the solvent. Milk, a colloid of ...

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 ...

Brownian motion is a universal characteristic of colloidal particles embedded in a host medium, and it is the fingerprint of molecular transport or diffusion, a generic feature of relevance not only ...

Soil is composed of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life. It is a responsible for the plant growth; means of water storage, supply and purification; ...
