Liquid Squeezing…
That isn’t tea, but the paradox still applies: Dispersing gold nanoparticles in an aqueous chlorine solution. (Courtesy: Ai Du) Topics: Aerogels, Einstein, Materials Science, Nanomaterials, Soft Materials If you stir a colloidal solution containing nanoparticles, you might expect the particles to disperse evenly through the liquid. But that’s not what happens. Instead, the particles endContinue reading “Liquid Squeezing…”
