Colloids are small particles which are dispersed through another medium, such as milk, toothpaste, and volcanic smoke. They have a major impact on our ability to understand biological processes and to control technology.

It is also a superb educational tool for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level students of physical chemistry and chemical engineering.
