Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was first described in 1986 by Binnig et al. 1, where it was used to investigate the topography of hard surfaces. In the following years, many related techniques such as ...

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a semi-volatile organic substance widely utilized in industrial production and found in daily used products. BPA, a phenolic xenoestrogen, is a monomer applied in epoxy resins’ ...

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 ...

The BeNano 180 Zeta Pro features a 671 nm solid-state laser with a power of 50 mW. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is performed by collecting scattered light signals from the sample at 90° or 173°. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Occasionally referred to as ‘colloidal gold,’ gold colloid is a suspension comprising sub-micron gold nanoparticles suspended in a solvent - most commonly water. Gold nanoparticles' distinct ...

Colloids—mixtures of particles made from one substance, dispersed in another substance—crop up in numerous areas of everyday life, including cosmetics, food and dyes, and form important systems within ...
