Microscopic characterization of macroscopic colloidal gel rheology

When attracted to one another, colloids, particles of size ranging from a few nanometers to a few microns suspended in a liquid, form a colloidal gel. The squishiness of a colloidal gel stems from its elastic space-spanning network of aggregated particles in a viscous liquid, which allows the gel to...
