Colloids in the study of fundamental physics

Colloidal particles in solution exhibit phase behavior analogous to atoms. In the last decades, colloids have been widely employed as modeling systems in studying nucleation, crystallization, glass transition and melting. A number of advances have been achieved. These advances have greatly extended the understanding of fundamental physical phenomena. In this paper, we give a brief summary on these advances.
