The Vietnamese word "nhũ tương" translates to "emulsion" in English. It is a noun that refers to a mixture of two liquids that usually do not mix well, such as oil and water. In an emulsion, one liquid (the dispersed phase) is suspended in the other (the continuous phase). This concept is often used in cooking, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
In advanced contexts, "nhũ tương" can refer to complex emulsions in food science or cosmetic formulations, where emulsifiers are used to stabilize the mixture.
While "nhũ tương" primarily refers to the scientific and culinary aspect of emulsions, it can also be used metaphorically in literature or speech to describe a blend of ideas or concepts that do not typically go together.
