A team of researchers from the Universities of Tübingen, Bayreuth, and Kassel, and the Polish Academy of Sciences has developed a method for precisely controlling the movement of magnetic ...

Researchers developed a magnetic checkerboard method to steer colloidal particles by size, enabling precise lab-on-chip control and smart materials. (Nanowerk News) A team of researchers from the ...

Colloidal self-assembly is a process where colloidal particles spontaneously organize into ordered structures under specific conditions. Colloidal self-assembly serves as a foundation for designing ...

Colloidal control: A patterned magnetic layer and tailored external fields enable precise, size-based manipulation of colloidal particles for potential medical and material uses. Cosmic ray origins: 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 colloidal ...

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 ...
