Bayreuth researchers have found ways to control tiny particles in liquids using magnetic patterns. The research results have now been published in Nature Communications under the title "Simultaneous ...

The soft, solid-like properties of colloidal gels are essential in fields such as food and medical applications, but how these properties manifest themselves is a long-standing mystery. Until now, it ...

Colloidal nanoparticles are particles that operate at the nanoscale, specifically between 1 to 1000 nanometers, suspended in a fluid. These nanoparticles can consist of various materials, such as ...

Working on the nanoscale, MIT researchers have 3D printed centimeter-long structures that could change the face of electronics and optical sensors. The method relies on the self-assembly principles of ...

Colloid particles that form bonds to each other at specific orientations might self-assemble into all sorts of useful materials. The key — and the lock — to such binding has been discovered. Colloidal ...
