Gravel foundations provide exceptional stability and drainage for shed installations. Unlike concrete slabs that can crack or shift over time, crushed stone creates a permeable base that prevents ...

An ensemble consisting of a binary mixture of particles of equal size can partition itself into its component fractions – provided that the two species differ in their diffusion constants.

Two-phase equilibrium: A binary colloidal mixture can exist in up to six phases at the same time. (Courtesy: R Tuiner) A binary colloidal mixture can exist in up to six phases at the same time, ...

Air quality is uniquely terrible after all those official and illegal fireworks are detonated to celebrate Independence Day.

Typically, particles added to an oil-and-water mixture decrease the tension at the interface between the two liquids, allowing them to mix.

The particles in a colloid are spread throughout the mixture and are small enough to pass through a coffee filter. Where the particles in a suspension will eventually settle, the particles in a ...
