The colloidal diamond could make light waves as useful as electrons in computing, and hold promise for a host of other applications. Researchers have devised a new process for the reliable ...

Nature keeps a few secrets. While plenty of structures with low symmetry are found in nature, scientists have been confined to high-symmetry designs when synthesizing colloidal crystals, a valuable ...

Unlike regular spherical colloids such as silica or polystyrene beads, patchy particles carry a considerable amount of self-assembly information. For example, their coordination number, bond angles ...

(Nanowerk News) The colloidal diamond has been a dream of researchers since the 1990s. These structures — stable, self-assembled formations of miniscule materials — have the potential to make light ...

Researchers in the Institute of Industrial Science at The University of Tokyo studied a new method for creating semisolid colloidal systems with less internal mechanical stress by delaying network ...

Research into the synthesis of new materials could lead to more sustainable and environmentally friendly items such as solar panels and light emitting diodes (LEDs). Scientists from Ames National ...

Mitch Jacoby Mitch took a liking to the physical and analytical sides of chemistry as an undergrad at Cleveland State University and stayed with it at Northwestern, where he did his PhD work in ...
