CAS researchers discovered a way to control how crystals form using only a shining light. With their findings, scientists can ...

NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

Artificial intelligence using neural networks performs calculations digitally with the help of microelectronic chips. Physicists have now created a type of neural network that works not with ...

Have you ever spilled coffee on a solid surface such as the floor, table or clothing? Most of us have had the experience, but if you have not, or if you are curious, spill just a drop and let it dry ...

Researchers explored a colloidal crystal model to produce specific polymorphs, required for use in materials science and pharmaceuticals. Polymorphs are not mythical, chimeric beasts -- they are ...

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 ...

HOUSTON – (March 14, 2022) – Small spheres suspended in a liquid move enough like molecules that the physics for one can be used to mimic the physics of the other. “It’s like trying to blow a bubble ...

Colloidal gold consists of microscopic particles of gold suspended in liquid and is usually red or purple. It comes from shale or clay deposits. There has been much debate about the health benefits of ...
