The idea behind the new technology was a moon shot. Scientists develop remarkable method to battle emerging threat to world's ...

Our aim is to synthesize a new class of soft polymer colloids possessing mechanical bonds, where two or more particles are physically entangled but not otherwise bonded. These particles will be ...

These include chunks of floating plastic waste that break down ... which are in turn composed of multiple particles known as soft dendritic colloids. Such particles have a reputation for being ...

The objective of this project is to design and fabricate a novel kind of nanocomposite materials, nanowire-colloidal composite particles, using self-assembly and emulsion polymerization. The ...

Soft dendritic colloids take the shape of small pellets ... bringing the captured plastic particles to the surface in a dense, scummy mixture," Hong said. The paper shows that the particles ...

Colloids are particles that have a diameter of between approximately 1 and 1,000 nanometres and that are evenly dispersed in fluids. Colloids are also known as colloidal dispersions because the ...

This study presents a novel method using self-dispersing colloids to efficiently remove microplastics from water, enhancing eco-friendly cleanup technologies.

What if colloidal particles could be given a valence similar to tetravalently bonded carbon and silicon atoms? Chemical linkers or DNA strands could then be anchored to these particles to make ...
