Complex motion of steerable vesicular robots filled with active colloidal rods
Sophie Y. Lee, Philipp W. A. Schönhöfer, Sharon C. Glotzer
While the collective motion of active particles has been studied extensively, effective strategies to navigate particle swarms without external guidance remain elusive. We introduc…

Rationalizing Euclidean Assemblies of Hard Polyhedra from Tessellations in Curved Space
Philipp W. A. Schönhöfer, Kai Sun, Xiaoming Mao +1
Entropic self-assembly is governed by the shape of the constituent particles, yet a priori prediction of crystal structures from particle shape alone is non-trivial for anything bu…

Curvature-Controlled Geometrical Lensing Behavior in Self-Propelled Colloidal Particle Systems
Philipp W. A. Schönhöfer, Sharon C. Glotzer
In many biological systems, the curvature of the surfaces cells live on influence their collective properties. Curvature should likewise influence the behavior of active colloidal…
