Some particle size instruments, known as single particle counters, measure individual particle size, while others measure surface area as a function of particle size. Further instruments measure mass ...

The “tail” of a particle size distribution references the particles that are several standard deviations removed from the mean of the standard Gaussian distribution. Figure 1 demonstrates the ...

When you see 'sand' written on a boring log, you might imagine ground that is easy for water to pass through and easier to handle than clay. However, even with the same sand, the way water drains and ...

I will begin this article with a pertinent story from my tenure as a mediocre graduate student in Physics. A fellow student and I were working together on a homework set. We had spent the majority of ...

Colloid science plays a critical role in industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and materials science. Colloids are mixtures where microscopic particles (ranging from nanometers to ...
