	Colloids

		Temperature dependant attractive colloidal systems We can make colloidal gases, liquids and solids by just changing temperature - like in atomic systems. Read more...

		Wetting We investigate the wetting behavior of a colloidal suspension at a plain wall.

		Drop formation in ultra low surface tension systems Colloid-polymer mixtures phase separate into colloidal liquid and gas phases. We study drop formation in these systems. Read more...

		Fluctuation dissipation theorem in aging colloidal glasses Read about...

		Colloidal crystals and glasses We investigate colloidal crystals and glasses with real-time 3D imaging to visualize processes in atomic materials. See recent publications P.Schall et al., Nature 440, 319 (2006) P. Schall et al. Science 318, 1895 (2007) Read more ...

	Drops
		Coalescence of drops We study the singular behavior of drop coalescence using ultrafast video camera. Read more ...

		Impact of drops on surfaces We study the spreading of drops on solid and liquid surfaces. Read more ... See also http://physicsweb.org/articles/news/10/4/4/1

		Phase inversion in three phase flow We propose to measure the distriubution and velocities of three phases (oil, water, gas) in flow using MRI. (FOM-Shell Project). Read more ...

	Quicksand and Landslide
		Sinking in quicksand. How and why do you sink in quicksand ? Read more...
		Rheological properties of clay We measure how clay flows under applied stresses.

	Waves in Complex Media
		Ultrasonic time reversal method We use a time reversal technique to test materials in a non-destructive way. Read more ...
		Time Reversal Acoustic Wave Dynamics We study time-reversed acoustic waves at acoustic cavities Read more ...
