Bacteria and other microorganisms, for example, have developed particularly elegant strategies. "By releasing and sensing chemical signals, they leave behind traces that allow them to 'record' where ...

Wearable chemical microreactors show applications for life-sustaining processes but their development suffers from the lack of materials with dynamic robustness, textile integrability, and ...

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

THIS book forms a testimonial to the work of the Dutch school on hydrophobic colloidal solutions. It contains a number of papers on the electrical double layer, including one of special importance by ...
