Imagine a "smart fluid" whose internal structure can be rearranged just by changing temperature. In a new study published in ...

Designing new building blocks of matter with concepts of geometry and shape in mind is giving rise to a generation of new exciting materials 1,2. Shape has a fundamental role in self-assembly as it ...

Particles are of a colloidal size if their size falls in the range of 1 to 1000nm. A colloid is system whereby colloidal particles are suspended in a continuous medium. They are stable and do not ...

Patchy particles are formed from the clusters using a two-stage swelling process followed by polymerization 31. First, a low-molecular-mass, water-insoluble organic compound (1-chlorodecane) is ...

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 ...

A colloidal solution is a uniform dispersion of two completely different types of components—particles or droplets of one phase, called the solute, in a second, typically liquid, phase, called the ...

Soil is composed of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life. It is a responsible for the plant growth; means of water storage, supply and purification; ...

Being abundant in nature, colloids find increasingly important applications in science and technology, ranging from direct probing of kinetics in crystals and glasses to fabrication of ...

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 ...

UK Colloids 2023 is the fourth colloid science conference in this series. It continues to be jointly organised by the RSC’s Colloid and Interface Science Group and the SCI’s Colloid and Surface ...

9:00–9:10 Welcome from the chairs, explanation of how session will run 9:10–9:45 Keynote from Chiara Neto (University of Sydney) “Nanobubbles explain the large slip observed on lubricant-infused ...
