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 ...

Urine is a highly saturated solution of extremely complicated composition. Its basic organic constituents are urea, uric acid and its salts, formed by the oxidation of purines. In that fluid, ...

As the pellet moves through the water, any microplastic particles it encounters get stuck to its soft dendritic colloid particles. The fun doesn't stop there, however. Each microcleaner additionally ...

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 ...

A research team simulated phase separation in colloidal suspensions. By treating colloid particles as undeformable highly viscous liquid droplets suspended in a solvent, they predicted the kinetics of ...

HOUSTON – (March 14, 2022) – 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. “It’s like trying to blow a bubble ...

On the afternoon of June 3, 2021, when his laboratory samples rocketed into outer space, Eric Furst stood in line at a different type of final frontier: the DMV. As tedious as waiting on a driver’s ...

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 ...
