When considering effective interactions in a many-body or thermodynamic system, it is important to recognize that the inherent character of the effective forces between two bodies already incorporates...

Why do hard spheres tend to stay together even though they experience strong repulsive forces upon contact? This intriguing phenomenon is widely recognized and

During the process of colloidal adsorption, colloids (physically or chemically) attach to the surface of a solid. This mechanism plays a crucial role in numerous applications, including water purifica...

The phase diagram of colloidal systems strongly depends on the nature of interparticle interactions, which reflect the physical mechanisms that stabilize the particles in the medium. In systems with d...

The study of the structural evolution of a material under equilibrium or nonequilibrium thermodynamic conditions is fundamental for understanding its stability and predicting its phase behavior. To th...

Today, the use of machine learning, especially through artificial neural networks, significantly speeds up the design of materials exhibiting unique properties.

The hard-sphere potential has become a cornerstone in the study of both molecular and complex fluids. Despite its mathematical simplicity, its implementation in

The transport properties of colloids in external potentials are often studied at low concentrations to avoid particle-particle interactions. The transport properties of colloids in external potentials...

The dynamical properties of the local area available per particle and its relationship with the self-diffusion coefficient of colloids in quasi-2D colloidal dispersions are studied using video microsc...

Colloidal dispersions exhibit rich equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamic properties, self-assemble into diverse structures at different length scales, and display transport behavior under bulk ...
