Active matter systems feature unique behaviors that include collective self-assembly structures and collective migration. However, the efforts to realize collective entities in spaces without ...

The so-called glass transition is the process by which some liquid-like materials become solid-like, without forming a crystalline structure. In contrast to conventional solid materials, which exhibit ...

Colloidal systems, ranging from water treatment to pharmaceuticals and soil management, are governed by a balance of attractive and repulsive forces between suspended particles. Ion-specific ...

The study of colloidal interactions at fluid interfaces reveals how particles adsorbed to the boundary between two fluids engage in a rich interplay of forces. Capillary interactions arise when ...

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 ...

Colloidal quantum-dots (CQDs) have emerged as promising gain media for lasers, offering low lasing thresholds, compatibility with low-cost solution-based synthesis and processing methods, and tunable ...
