Argonne research unveiling the secrets of nanoparticle haloing
DOE/Argonne National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
A glass of milk, a gallon of paint and a bottle of salad dressing all look to the naked eye like liquids. But when viewed under a microscope these everyday liquids, called "colloids," actually contain small globules or particles that stay suspended in solution. A new colloidal stabilization method characterized by scientists at the US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory may give scientists a new way to control the stability of some colloidal suspensions.
