Nanocolloidal gels (NCGs) are an emerging class of soft matter, in which nanoparticles act
as building blocks of the colloidal network. Chemical or physical crosslinking enables NCG …

X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) enables the study of sample dynamics
between micrometer and atomic length scales. As a coherent scattering technique, it …

X-ray-based analytics are routinely applied in many fields, including physics, chemistry,

While the interplay between liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and glass formation in
biological systems is highly relevant for their structure formation and thus function, the exact …

Dynamics and kinetics in soft matter physics, biology, and nanoscience frequently occur on
fast (sub) microsecond but not ultrafast timescales which are difficult to probe …

Understanding and designing sophisticated new materials require measurements of not
only their average structural properties but also their dynamic behavior. X-ray photon …

Gels self‐assembled from colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) translate the size‐dependent
properties of nanostructures to materials with macroscale volumes. Large spanning …

This article aims to provide an overview of broad range of applications of synchrotron
scattering methods in the investigation of nanoscale materials. These scattering techniques …

Chitin biopolymer has received significant attention recently by many industries as a green
technology. Nanotechnology has been used to make chitin nanocrystals (ChiNCs) that are …

To gain insight into the kinetics of colloidal gel evolution at low particle volume fractions ϕ,
we utilize differential dynamic microscopy to investigate particle aggregation, geometric …
