Since naturally occurring colloidal particles have shapes that are typically determined by minimization of interfacial tension (e.g. during phase separation) or facetted crystal growth, their surfaces ...

Model colloidal systems provide insight into aspects of the structure and dynamics of particulate systems on a broad range of length and time scales. In this focus issue, we highlight recent ...

Our scientific interests encompass different branches of soft condensed matter and optical physics, including novel laser trapping and imaging techniques, molecular and colloidal self-assembly, ...
