NEWS RELEASE
Models for molecules show unexpected physics
Chemical and biomolecular engineer Sibani Lisa Biswal and postdoctoral fellow Kedar Joshi of Rice's George R. Brown School of Engineering found that when a colloid — in this case, a suspension of micron-sized paramagnetic particles — is jostled with a magnetic field, it still tends to seek its lowest-energy state in the same way that gas and liquid systems do.
