Colloidal gels and suspensions are complex systems in which microscopic particles, ranging from nanometres to micrometres, aggregate to form either space‐spanning networks or dispersed arrangements.

The study of nanoparticle interactions within colloidal suspensions has advanced considerably, laying the groundwork for both industrial applications and theoretical developments. At the heart of this ...

Colloidal suspensions of microscopic particles show complex and interesting collective behaviors. In particular, the collective dynamics of colloids is fundamental and ubiquitous for materials ...
