A new study unveils the mechanism of the nanoparticle gelation transition

A new study unveils the mechanism of the nanoparticle gelation transition University of Milan via Phys.org In a major breakthrough published in Nature Communications, the universal laws which govern the formation of nanostructured materials have been unveiled. Researchers led by Prof. Alessio Zaccone at University of Milan and by Prof. Peter Schall at University of Amsterdam, have demonstrated that the phase transition through which colloidal nanoparticles aggregate into a solid-like system-spanning material (a colloidal gel) is described by universal laws that are independent of the peculiar physico-chemical characteristics of a given system.
