• The response of colloidal polystyrene nanoparticles to shear flow in a rotating cell is measured using XPCS.  The ability to measure diffusion in a direction perpendicular to this flow is also shown: X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy during homogeneous shear flow

• The coffee ring effect has widely been attributed to capillary forces during the evaporation of solvent from a colloidal suspension.  Interparticle interactions and the deposition processes at the contact line are still being investigated: Stability and minimum size of colloidal clusters on a liquid-air interface

• Another interesting application of speckle: Speckle correlation functions applied to surface plasmons

• As data storage hardware continues to be scaled down, recent developments include bits made of only 12 individual Fe atoms: Bistability in atomic-scale antiferromagnets

• And…a recent PRL article explains the shape of ponytails in terms of relaxation of elastic fibers: Shape of a ponytail and the statistical physics of hair fiber bundles
