Colloids are small particles suspended in a liquid and they are important for many practical applications (e.g., paints, inks, creams, ketchup, milk, blood). Although colloids are much larger than atoms, they are often small enough to be perturbed by collisions from surrounding liquid molecules and execute a perpetual, random motion known as Brownian motion. This...
