Did you know that in the 1960s, 1 in 35 films, give or take, featured someone dying from being trapped in quicksand? From “Lawrence of Arabia” and “Ice Cold in Alex” to more recent films like “Indiana ...

Colloid solutions, both natural and synthetic, had been widely accepted as having superior volume expanding effects than crystalloids. Synthetic colloid solutions were previously considered at least ...

Phytoplankton assimilate carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, and nourish food webs on a scale that impacts planetary processes but are limited by iron deficiency over much of the global surface ocean.

Collective dynamics of confined colloids are crucial in diverse scenarios such as self-assembly and phase behavior in materials science, microrobot swarms for drug delivery and microfluidic control.
