The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles
interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static and …

Colloid science has recently grown substantially owing to the innovative use of silane
coupling agents (SCAs), especially 3-trimethoxysilylpropyl methacrylate (TPM). SCAs were …

Understanding the impact of curvature on the self-assembly of elongated microscopic
building blocks, such as molecules and proteins, is key to engineering functional materials …

Structures of molecular crystals are identified using scattering techniques because we
cannot see inside them. Micrometre-sized colloidal particles enable the real-time …

Organosilica nanoparticles refer to silica nanoparticles containing carbon along with organic
or functional groups and can be divided into mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles and …

We report an investigation on the effects of the confinement imposed by application-relevant
poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) hydrogel matrices with controlled porosity on the dynamics of …

The rotational Brownian motion of colloidal spheres in dense suspensions reflects local
hydrodynamics and contact forces, which are both key to nonlinear rheological phenomena …

Particle-laden interfaces stabilize emulsions and foams and can serve as a platform for
multiscale materials. Favorable wetting of a particle to a fluid interface reduces the apparent …

Light‐actuated micromachines are of enormous interest due to their ability to harvest light for
triggering catalytic reactions to acquire free energy for mechanical work. This work presents …

Emulsion droplets on the colloidal length scale are a model system of frictionless compliant
spheres. Direct imaging studies of the microscopic structure and dynamics of emulsions offer …
