Edwards members discover unexpected stability of 'Raspberry' Colloids

Research Groups in the Physics, Chemistry & Melville laboratories have discovered a new synthesis route to make uniform 'raspberry'-like colloids in a single step reaction. They show that aqueous suspensions of these nano-particles remain stable over a large range of ionic strengths, defying DLVO theory.

This collaborative research has been now published in Nature Communications.
