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 ...

COLLOID science nowadays covers a multitude of the branches of physical chemistry and even of technology. The diversity of subjects treated in the present volume is as wide as the all-embracing title ...

Researchers have made a breakthrough in the development of 'life-like' synthetic materials which are able to move by themselves like worms. Scientists have been investigating a new class of materials ...

Note: Articles may be assigned to more than one subject area, as a result the sum of the subject research outputs may not equal the overall research outputs. Note: Hover over the donut graph to view ...

Tying knots and linking microscopic loops of polymers, macromolecules, or defect lines in complex materials is a challenging task for material scientists. We demonstrate the knotting of microscopic ...

The effect of organic matter (OM) on the flocculation of colloidal montmorillonite was investigated through a complementary use of laboratory experiments and computational flocculation modeling. The ...

In exciting new research, scientists have uncovered a new phase of matter: liquid glass. Glass has special, wild properties that make it of ongoing interest to scientists as well as the general public ...

The colloid particles comprised of silica coated in chromium are known as Janus particles in homage to the Roman God with two faces Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen environmental ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have made a breakthrough in the development of “life-like” synthetic materials which are able to move by themselves like worms. Scientists have been ...
