The liquid state of matter is an intermediate phase between solid and gas. Like the particles of a solid, particles in a liquid are subject to intermolecular attraction; however, liquid particles have ...

Substances can exist in three states of matter - solid, liquid and gas. All substances are made from particles, and the forces between the particles are different in solids, liquids and gases. The ...

Chemists and physicists have succeeded in getting custom-shaped particles to interact and assemble in a controlled way in a liquid crystal. Chemists and physicists have succeeded in getting ...

The ability to control the selectivity and angular flexibility of interparticle interactions 5 makes it possible to provide valence to colloids. This can be done by means of chemical 6,7,8 or physical ...
