Colloidal particles may be considered as building blocks for materials, just like atoms are the
bricks of molecules, macromolecules, and crystals. Periodic arrays of colloids (colloidal …

Particles adsorbed to fluid interfaces are ubiquitous in industry, nature or life. The wide
range of properties arising from the assembly of particles at fluid interface has stimulated an …

Microrobot swarms have seen increased interest in recent years due to their potentials for in
vivo delivery and imaging with cooperative propulsion modes and enhanced imaging …

Synchronization occurs widely in the natural and technological worlds, from the rhythm of
applause and neuron firing to the quantum mechanics of coupled Josephson junctions, but …

Magnetically-guided colloidal assembly has proven to be a versatile method for building
hierarchical particle assemblies. This review describes the dipolar interactions that govern …

Active matter systems feature a series of unique behaviors, including the emergence of
collective self-assembly structures and collective migration. However, realizing collective …

A colloidal suspension is a heterogeneous fluid containing solid microscopic particles.
Colloids play an important role in our everyday life, from food and pharmaceutical industries …

In this review we discuss recent research on driving self-assembly of magnetic particle
suspensions subjected to alternating magnetic fields. The variety of structures and effects …

Burgeoning interest in supracolloidal assembly has reached the point at which the field can
seek so-called intelligent design rather than solely rely on evolution. Emphasizing Janus …

We demonstrate a general method to assemble and propel highly maneuverable colloidal
carpets which can be steered via remote control in any direction of the plane. These …
