The film "The Colloidal State" explores the concept of colloids, which are materials in a dispersion where small particles of one substance are distributed throughout another. It distinguishes ...

Colloidal suspensions undergo Brownian diffusion that arrests at high density, remobilizing under flow. Slowly sheared non-Brownian particles (dry or in suspension) likewise show chaotic trajectories, ...

When we zoom in to microscopic dimensions a world reveals itself, the one where small objects rule. Small particles, droplets, organisms, and nano-patterns have a tremendous influence on the ...
