We combine topology and active matter paradigms in an effort to achieve topology-dictated nonequilibrium self-assembly of topologically distinct active particles. Active colloids are a distinct ...

Introducing the concept of programmability paves the way for designing complex and intelligent materials, where the materials’ structural information is pre-encoded in the components that build the ...

Being abundant in nature, colloids find increasingly important applications in science and technology, ranging from direct probing of kinetics in crystals and glasses to fabrication of ...

Catalytic activity of the colloids and chemotactic response to gradients of the chemicals in the solution leads to effective interaction between catalytic colloids. In this paper, we simulate mixtures ...

Substrate-induced heterogeneous nucleation is a promising way to form an extended single crystal with few defects while controlling its direction. Despite its technological importance, however, the ...

Suspensions of colloids driven out-of-equilibrium demonstrate interesting collective behavior, such as organized and directed clustering and swarming. These systems require continuous energy input, ...

Colloids are simply fine particles of solids, liquids, or gases suspended in a fluid. And you can find colloidal systems almost everywhere in nature and in industrial processes, such as in butter, ...

Physicists in the Netherlands have created artificial crystals made of colloidal particles that could be used to explore the behaviour of ordinary ionic crystals. The team discovered a number of new ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Due to a planned power outage on Friday, 1/14, between 8am-1pm PST, some services may be impacted. A line drawing of the Internet Archive headquarters building façade. An illustration of a magnifying ...
