Unlike regular spherical colloids such as silica or polystyrene beads, patchy particles carry a considerable amount of self-assembly information. For example, their coordination number, bond angles ...

Holographic microscopy has emerged as a powerful technique for the quantitative three‐dimensional characterisation of colloidal particles. By utilising a coherent light source to generate interference ...

In the early 2000s, scientists from the UK made a worrisome discovery that the oceans are teeming with small particles of plastic (less than one millimeter in length) due to the continuous degradation ...

Colloidal suspensions heterogenous mixtures of particles with diameters of about 2-500 nanometers, which are permanently suspended in a second phase, usually a liquid. Owing to the small particle size ...

(Nanowerk News) Tools for manipulating small suspended particles such as cells, microparticles and nanoparticles play an essential role in the advancement of fundamental science and discovery of new ...

Colloidal lithography is a nanofabrication technique that utilizes colloidal particles as masks for creating ordered nanostructures on substrates. This cost-effective and scalable method has gained ...

An international team has developed spherical colloidal particles for the visualization of rotational dynamics. The two-color fluorescent particles have an off-center core that allows tracking of ...

Nanosized drug particles and colloids enhance drug permeability and bioavailability through the particle drifting effect, but outcomes vary by drug, colloid, and formulation. This study used biphasic ...
