Two-phase equilibrium: A binary colloidal mixture can exist in up to six phases at the same time. (Courtesy: R Tuiner) A binary colloidal mixture can exist in up to six phases at the same time, ...

Scientists devised a new approach that balances attractions between particles and promises to become a useful tool to create designer materials that can repair damage. Scientists devised a new ...

Researchers demonstrate a high level of control over a type of colloid in which the suspended particles take the form of hollow, nanoscale cubes. This case has only previously been explored through ...

Highly purified crystals that split light with uncanny precision are key parts of high-powered lenses, specialized optics and, potentially, computers that manipulate light instead of electricity. But ...

Students will learn how to categorize matter as either pure substances or mixtures. Students will apply tests, based on physical properties of matter samples, to determine whether a mixture is ...

IT is stated in the preface that this book has passed through three large editions in Germany. We are inclined to think that such success was due more to the fact that it was first in the field as a ...

Physicists from the University of Utrecht and the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw have observed - for the first time experimentally - the Brazil nut effect in a mixture of charged ...
