Physicists in the Netherlands have created artificial crystals made of colloidal particles that could be used to explore the behaviour of ordinary ionic crystals. The team discovered a number of new ...

We combine topology and active matter paradigms in an effort to achieve topology-dictated nonequilibrium self-assembly of topologically distinct active particles. Active colloids are a distinct ...

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 ...

The ability to better steer particles suspended in liquids could lead to better water purification processes, new drug delivery systems, and other applications. The key ingredient, say Yale ...
