A research team simulated phase separation in colloidal suspensions. By treating colloid particles as undeformable highly viscous liquid droplets suspended in a solvent, they predicted the kinetics of ...

Shear flow dynamics play a crucial role in determining the microstructural evolution and mechanical stability of colloidal aggregates. Under an imposed shear, the interplay between hydrodynamic forces ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 7 (February 18, 2020), pp. 3375-3381 (7 pages) When a colloidal suspension is dried, capillary pressure ...

Tokyo, Japan - Liquids, with their flowing dynamics, are often far from equilibrium. This makes it particularly hard to model processes in soft matter or living tissue, which contain liquids. New ...
