Molecular motors on the run: In the nanotech world, molecular 'motors' have been heavily investigated during the last decade. And you probably read that these nano-carriers will one day be able to move a useful drug right where it's needed inside your body. But think for a minute to the size gap between yourself and...; Tags: filament, motor, cargo; Blog posts 2005-11-15
Why study colloids on the ISS?: Colloids are simply fine particles of solids, liquids, or gases suspended in a fluid. And you can find colloidal systems almost everywhere in nature and in industrial processes, such as in butter, milk, aerosols or paints. All of these substances are examples of colloidal dispersions or suspensions. But that's on...; Tags: phase separation, BCAT-3, Colloids; Blog posts 2005-10-04

Datasqueeze (bin): Datasqueeze is a graphical interface for analyzing data from 2D x-ray diffraction detectors (wire, image plate, CCD), running on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh OS X. The interface is simple and intuitive, and the program is easy to use even for those new to x-ray diffraction analysis. Datasqueeze is particularly useful...; Tags: Polymer, Analysis, Datasqueeze Software; Software downloads 2008-02-27

Colloidal silver touted as MRSA cure: Two companies are claiming they have a solution of colloidal silver that can cure MRSA, the antibiotic-resistant staph infection which is panicking the U.S. media. (Picture from Altered States, a New Zealand site which offers colloidal silver as a general remedy.) LifeSilver and MRSA Medical both claim their "patented"...; Tags: Infection, Remedy, Security, Dana Blankenhorn; Blog posts 2007-10-31

Car paints changing with temperature: It's now common to build materials which can change colors depending on their surrounding environment because of progresses made in colloid chemistry. But now, German researchers have gone a step further. They've used ion bombardment and gold metallisation to produce new particles whose bonding behavior can be chemically tailored. This...; Tags: crystal; Blog posts 2005-12-04
