Colloid engineering is the concept that crystallized structures based on colloidal self-assembly can be made into tools. Materials that have a mixture of small, optically inert spheres combined with liquid crystals can be used as optical filters or optical switches. While testing the color imaging cameras on the Physics of Colloids in Space hardware, Harvard University researchers acquired this image of AB6 crystals, which had formed in a binary alloy colloidal suspension. The crystals are illuminated with white light. Different regions of the sample cell Bragg-scatter different...Read full article
