water
These soft nanostructures do work on demand. When you add dish liquid to hot water in a dishpan full of dirty pots and pans, the nanoscale structure of the surfactant micelles change as they migrate to the oily surfaces, encapsulate the grease, and carry it into solution. When you paint a wall with a good-quality emulsion-based paint, the brush moves easily as you spread the paint on the wall, but as soon as you finish brushing an area, the structure changes and the viscosity of the paint...
Gerald Gallwas
Gerald Gallwas was a member of the original team in the mid-1960s that founded and managed the growth of what became the clinical diagnostic business of Beckman Instruments. The team pioneered a new technology based on kinetic rate measurements applied to first-order chemical reactions for clinically significant blood constituents. As the business grew, he served in many roles, from new product development to directing clinical field trials in the United States, Europe, and Japan. This led to...
