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 ...

A colloidal solution is a uniform dispersion of two different types of components—particles or droplets of one phase, the solute, in a second (typically liquid) phase, the solvent. Milk, a colloid of ...

A new study has determined the impact of intrinsic colloid formation on increased migration of leaked radioactive materials in the environment. Colloids are microscopic inorganic or organic solids ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. Mitch Jacoby Mitch took a liking to the physical and analytical sides of chemistry as an undergrad at Cleveland State University and stayed with it at ...

Physicists at the University of Pennsylvania have determined that adding a "fuzz" of chemical chains to colloidal molecules can lead them to form a predictable array of lattices. The entropy-driven ...

Traveling waves are commonly observed in biological and synthetic systems, and recent discoveries have shown how silver colloids form traveling motion waves in hydrogen peroxide under UV light. In a ...
