In recent years, the application of the Tyndall effect, with its immediate response and non-invasive nature,has been widely used in various fields, including environmental biology, medical diagnosis, chemical production,food, and drug. This paper briefly reviews existing techniques for applying the Tyndall effect, specifically, the application of the Tyndall effect in different scenarios, such as heavy metal ion concentration detection, biomolecule concentration detection, disease diagnosis, and preparation. Additionally, its applications in industrial production for auxiliary hydrophobic materials and semiconductor chip production, improving the energy efficiency of solar cells, and food safety for white wine quality identification and tea pesticide residue detection are discussed. Finally, the future directions for applying the Tyndall effect are presented. The summary and outlook of applying the Tyndall effect will provide research directions and theoretical references for subsequent applicators.
