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 ...

Colloidal suspensions undergo Brownian diffusion that arrests at high density, remobilizing under flow. Slowly sheared non-Brownian particles (dry or in suspension) likewise show chaotic trajectories, ...

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 ...

Liquids, with their flowing dynamics, are often far from equilibrium. This makes it particularly hard to model processes in soft matter or living tissue, which contain liquids. New research from the ...

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in ...

The study of nanoparticle interactions within colloidal suspensions has advanced considerably, laying the groundwork for both industrial applications and theoretical developments. At the heart of this ...

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 ...
