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 ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

The BeNano 180 Zeta Pro features a 671 nm solid-state laser with a power of 50 mW. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is performed by collecting scattered light signals from the sample at 90° or 173°. The ...

For more than a century, scientists have treated chemistry as the master key to building new materials, tuning bonds and charges to coax atoms into useful patterns. A new wave of research is quietly ...

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 ...

Silicon oxides such as SiO 2 are the most abundant component of the earth’s crust. They can be found in nature in crystalline form and are industrially manufactured in many forms, including colloidal ...

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 ...

Colloids are heterogeneous physical systems in which one phase (dispersed phase) is finely distributed within another continuous phase, with characteristic particle or domain sizes typically in the ...

The University of Michigan was recently selected to head a $30 million collaborative complex particle research center funded by the National Science Foundation. The Center for Complex Particle Systems ...

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 ...
