Two-phase equilibrium: A binary colloidal mixture can exist in up to six phases at the same time. (Courtesy: R Tuiner) A binary colloidal mixture can exist in up to six phases at the same time, ...

Particles are of a colloidal size if their size falls in the range of 1 to 1000nm. A colloid is system whereby colloidal particles are suspended in a continuous medium. They are stable and do not ...

Students will learn how to categorize matter as either pure substances or mixtures. Students will apply tests, based on physical properties of matter samples, to determine whether a mixture is ...

Researchers demonstrate a high level of control over a type of colloid in which the suspended particles take the form of hollow, nanoscale cubes. This case has only previously been explored through ...
