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 ...

The film "The Colloidal State" explores the concept of colloids, which are materials in a dispersion where small particles of one substance are distributed throughout another. It distinguishes ...

When we zoom in to microscopic dimensions a world reveals itself, the one where small objects rule. Small particles, droplets, organisms, and nano-patterns have a tremendous influence on the ...

Crystalloid vs Colloid: What's the 'Solution'? The first choice made when selecting a resuscitation fluid is whether to use a crystalloid or colloid solution. While there are really only 2 types of ...

Over the past few years, our research group has been investigating some of the geochemical controls on the mobilization and transport of colloids in saturated porous media. Colloids have been ...

Natural philosophers have been seeing signs of 'life' in non-living matter ever since Aristotle. But that motley enterprise has always been handicapped by a lack of clarity about what qualifies as ...

A research team simulated phase separation in colloidal suspensions. By treating colloid particles as undeformable highly viscous liquid droplets suspended in a solvent, they predicted the kinetics of ...

A colloidal solution is a uniform dispersion of two completely different types of components—particles or droplets of one phase, called the solute, in a second, typically liquid, phase, called the ...
