For more than a century, scientists have treated chemistry as the master key to building new materials, tuning bonds and charges to coax atoms into useful patterns. A new wave of research is quietly ...

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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) 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. That’s why the discovery of some unusual physics ...

DNA is a fascinating macromolecule that guides protein production and enables cell replication. It has also found applications in nanoscience and materials design. Colloidal crystals are ordered ...

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 ...

Engineers discover unusual properties in magnetized colloids that surprisingly adhere to the physics described by Kelvin's equation, which models the thermodynamics of molecular systems. Small spheres ...
