We present a simple chemical strategy for the formation of a self-propelling cluster via the
process of capture and assembly of passive colloids on the surface of a chemically active …

We simulate the self-assembly of active colloidal molecules from binary mixtures of spherical
particles using a Brownian dynamics algorithm. These particles interact via phoretic …

Self-propelled colloidal particles exhibit rich non-equilibrium phenomena and have
promising applications in fields such as drug delivery and self-assembled active materials …

Designing protocols to dynamically direct the self-assembly of colloidal particles has
become an important direction in soft matter physics because of promising applications in …

We outline a basic strategy of how self-propulsion can be used to improve the yield of a
typical colloidal self-assembly process. The success of this approach is predicated on the …

We develop a model to describe the behavior of a system of active and passive particles in
solution that can undergo spontaneous self-organization and self-sustained motion. The …

Abstract" The self-assembly of colloidal particles into larger structures is of interest both
scientifically and technologically. The range of possible structures that may be formed by …

Self-diffusiophoretic particles exploit local concentration gradients of a solute species in
order to self-propel at the micron scale. While an isolated chemically-and geometrically …

The past two decades have seen a remarkable progress in the development of synthetic
colloidal agents which are capable of creating directed motion in an unbiased environment …

Hypothesis Self-assembled colloidal mobility out of a non-equilibrium system can depend
on many external and interparticle forces including hydrodynamic forces. While the driving …
