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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

A research team simulated phase separation in colloidal suspensions. By treating colloid particles as undeformable highly viscous liquid droplets suspended in a solvent, they predicted the kinetics of ...

Lee R. White wanted to be a theoretical physicist. But while he was finishing his doctoral degree, an applied math professor talked him into examining the forces between particles in solution.
