摘要
Many industrial and natural processes depend on controlling the interactions between micrometre-sized colloidal particles dispersed in fluid suspensions. Even so, colloidal interactions are not entirely understood — a strange attractive force has been observed between like-charged particles in some circumstances. It now seems that this force is due to a combination of nonlinear effects and geometrical confinement.
