Most microfluidic separation techniques rely largely on object size as a separation marker.
The ability to separate micro-objects based on their shape is crucial in various biomedical …

In this mini‐review, the main differences between spherical and spheroidal particles in terms
of their size, surface area, morphology, and ability to penetrate biological membranes are …

The linear elasticity of dilute colloidal gels formed from discoidal latex particles is quantified
as a function of aspect ratio and modeled by confocal microscopy characterization of their …

The detachment of fine particles attached to a solid substrate or rock surface significantly
affects colloidal transport in porous media. The work is devoted to quantifying the …

Heterogeneity among particles is an inherent feature that allows nondeterministic prediction
of the properties of assembled structures and materials composed of many particles. Here …

We prepared electrically conductive polystyrene (PS) nanocomposites by incorporating non-
covalently surface-modified carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with hydrophilic polymers such as …

Although single-particle level studies on prolate ellipsoidal colloids are relatively abundant,
similar studies on oblate ellipsoids are rare because suitable model systems are scarcely …

Structural color─ optical response due to light diffraction or scattering from submicrometer-
scale structures─ is a promising means for sustainable coloration. To expand the …

The optimization of fabrication conditions for colloidal micron-sized oblates obtained by the
deformation of an oil-in-hydrogel emulsion is reported. The influence of the type of emulsion …

Heterogeneous capillary interactions between ellipsoid particles at the oil–water interface
were measured via optical laser tweezers. Two trapped particles were aligned in either tip-to …
