Occasionally referred to as ‘colloidal gold,’ gold colloid is a suspension comprising sub-micron gold nanoparticles suspended in a solvent - most commonly water. Gold nanoparticles' distinct ...

Colloids are simply fine particles of solids, liquids, or gases suspended in a fluid. And you can find colloidal systems almost everywhere in nature and in industrial processes, such as in butter, ...

A colloidal solution is a uniform dispersion of two different types of components—particles or droplets of one phase, the solute, in a second (typically liquid) phase, the solvent. Milk, a colloid of ...

Lateral flow immunoassays, also called immunochromatography strips, are straightforward devices used to detect the absence or presence of a target analyte. Target analytes range from pathogens to ...

Nanotechnology is generally seen as a relatively new invention. It is generally accepted to have been officially born as a discipline with Richard Feynman's 1959 lecture, "There's plenty of room at ...

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, ...

UK Colloids 2023 is the fourth colloid science conference in this series. It continues to be jointly organised by the RSC’s Colloid and Interface Science Group and the SCI’s Colloid and Surface ...

Being abundant in nature, colloids find increasingly important applications in science and technology, ranging from direct probing of kinetics in crystals and glasses to fabrication of ...
