On the afternoon of June 3, 2021, when his laboratory samples rocketed into outer space, Eric Furst stood in line at a different type of final frontier: the DMV. As tedious as waiting on a driver’s ...

A new International Space Station investigation, Advanced Colloids Experiment-Temperature-10, is using temperature changes to better understand how colloids -- or 'disordered solids' -- age or fail If ...

Colloids are simply fine particles of solids, liquids, or gases suspended in a fluid. And you can find colloidal systems almost everywhere in nature and in industrial processes, such as in butter, ...

Implementation Partner: NASA Glenn Research Center and Zin Technologies, Inc. Colloids are suspensions of microscopic particles in a liquid, and they are found in products ranging from milk to fabric ...

Mrs. Nooney’s sixth graders at sacred Heart School recently performed an experiment about “A Crazy Colloid” in their science lab. Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Click to ...

Since Europe’s Columbus laboratory module was attached to the International Space Station five years ago, it has offered researchers worldwide the opportunity to conduct science beyond the effects of ...

From these experiments, it is clear that in all these colloid systems the observed crystalline phases nucleate through an intermediate step. First, an amorphous precursor forms with mainly hcp-like ...

Amid the balance of attractive decoration size, colloid size, ionic strength and water velocity, the new theory shows how colloids can stick. By varying colloid size, ionic strength and water velocity ...
