Abstract: Colloidal particles are envisioned as analogues of atoms and molecules, however they often lack the complexities present in their counterparts. In this work, we report the assembly of colloidal molecules from a binary mixture of… read more here.

Abstract: We consider a rigid assembly of two active Brownian particles, forming an active colloidal dimer, in a gradient of activity. We show analytically that depending on the relative orientation of the two particles the active… read more here.

DOI: 10.34133/research.0490
Abstract: Colloidal molecules, ordered structures assembled from micro- and nanoparticles, serve as a valuable model for understanding the behavior of real molecules and for constructing materials with tunable properties. In this work, we introduce a universal… read more here.
