Holographic microscopy has emerged as a powerful technique for the quantitative three‐dimensional characterisation of colloidal particles. By utilising a coherent light source to generate interference ...

Unlike regular spherical colloids such as silica or polystyrene beads, patchy particles carry a considerable amount of self-assembly information. For example, their coordination number, bond angles ...

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 ...

An international team has developed spherical colloidal particles for the visualization of rotational dynamics. The two-color fluorescent particles have an off-center core that allows tracking of ...

In the early 2000s, scientists from the UK made a worrisome discovery that the oceans are teeming with small particles of plastic (less than one millimeter in length) due to the continuous degradation ...

Colloidal lithography is a nanofabrication technique that utilizes colloidal particles as masks for creating ordered nanostructures on substrates. This cost-effective and scalable method has gained ...
