This work investigates the behavior of small particles suspended in stationary liquids, connecting to Albert Einstein's pivotal research on molecular movements. It delves into different forms of colloidal systems, including nematic and smectic liquid crystals and chiral/cholesteric polymers. The study highlights the classification of colloidal systems, focusing on the 3D diffraction patterns created by regularly arranged silica particles, resulting in vibrant opal colors. The findings elucidate how interactions between suspended particles and the surrounding liquid molecules lead to detectable motion under a microscope.

Albert Einstein‘s most cited paper !! On the Movement of Small Particles Suspended in Stationary Liquids Required by the Molecular-Kinetic Theory of Heat This work will demonstrate that ... small objects which are suspended in a liquid will colloide with the liquid‘s molecules which leads to a motion which can be detected with a microscope ....
