A ferrofluid is, quite simply, a fluid with magnetic particles in it. This means that, if the fluid is exposed to a magnetic field, all the magnetic particles will align with the field lines.

The class of liquid-crystalline phases known as cholesteric phases can form in amyloid fibrils in the same way as other filamentous biological colloidal systems, such as viruses, cellulose and ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) The soft, solid-like properties of colloidal gels are essential in fields such as food and medical applications, but how these properties manifest themselves is a long-standing mystery ...

If there's one topic that's guaranteed to cause a heated discussion amongst PC enthusiasts, it's thermal paste. From how much to use, to what shape you apply, everyone has their own opinion on what's ...

Sometimes you've just got to kick back and collect the data. That seems to be the motto of what may be the world's smallest robots. Under development by MIT engineers, the 0.1 mm microrobots consist ...
