Observing the mechanism of delayed collapse in colloidal gels: Yielding while becoming stronger
Summary
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 20, May 2026. SignificanceColloidal gels are everyday materials from cosmetics to foods and even cement, but they challenge our understanding because they are not in thermodynamic equilibrium and so their properties change over time. A particularly surprising ...
