Researchers have devised a method for following the gelation of colloidal gels. Their confocal microscopy technique has allowed the different stages of the process to be analyzed, leading to insights ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a model system for so-called soft colloids. The model gives us a better understanding of correlations between the atomic structure of colloids and their perceptible material ...

Nanosized drug particles and colloids enhance drug permeability and bioavailability through the particle drifting effect, but outcomes vary by drug, colloid, and formulation. This study used biphasic ...

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 ...

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 ...

“Colloid” means that something is dissolved in another substance. Colloidal silver is made up of tiny particles of silver in water. It’s the same kind of silver used in jewelry and silverware. The ...

Tokyo, Japan - The term colloidal gel might not be one that is immediately familiar to everybody. However, most people come into contact with these materials every day. Many cosmetics, pharmaceuticals ...
