Owing to their mesoscopic length scales, colloidal suspensions provide ideal model systems suitable for addressing many problems in the field of statistical physics. Exemplarily, we highlight the versatile nature of such systems by discussing experiments with stochastic resonance and a practical realization of a recently proposed ratchet cellular automaton.
