A tiny cluster of molecules that forms in a liquid, as in soapy water.
A micell is a variant spelling of the unit more often written micelle: molecules with one end that likes water and one that avoids it gather into a ball with the water-avoiding ends hidden inside. This is how soap and detergents lift grease, because the grease is trapped inside the cluster. The word is used in the study of colloids, where such clusters stay suspended in the liquid.
