One aspect of dispersions of microscale particles in viscous liquids is that such dispersions can be used as visual model systems for studying phases that chemistry undergraduate students typically learn about for nanoscale and molecular systems, yet they do not see. Temperature continuously excites molecules and causes rearrangements, giving dynamic views of macromolecules and particles in many fields, including cell and molecular biology, chemical engineering, chemistry, materials science, and physics.
