Emergent charge crystallization and frustration in a particle anti-spin Ice

Renaud Baillou, Matthew Terkel, Cristiano Nisoli +1

Artificial spin ices have transcended their origins in frustrated rare-earth pyrochlores to become a versatile platform for engineering exotic states of matter. Across diverse impl…

Photocatalytic magnetic microgyroscopes with activity-tunable precessional dynamics

Dolachai Boniface, Arthur V. Straube, Pietro Tierno

Magnetic nano/microrotors are passive elements that spin around an axis due to an external rotating field while remaining confined to a close plane. They have been used to date in…

Bidirectional Zigzag Growth from Clusters of Active Colloidal Shakers

Gaspard Junot, Andrés Javier Manzano González, Pietro Tierno

Driven or self-propelling particles moving in viscoelastic fluids recently emerge as novel class of active systems showing a complex yet rich set of phenomena due to the non-Newton…

Hydrodynamics is Needed to Explain Propulsion in Chemophoretic Colloidal Rafts

Dolachai Boniface, Sergi G. Leyva, Ignacio Pagonabarraga +1

Active particles driven by a chemical reaction are the subject of intense research to date due to their rich physics, being intrinsically far from equilibrium, and their multiple t…

Liquid-crystal enabled electrophoresis: Scenarios for driving and reconfigurable assembling of colloids

S. Hernàndez-Navarro, P. Tierno, J. Ignés-Mullol +1

We demonstrate several examples of driving and steering of colloids when dispersed in nematic liquid crystals. The driving mechanism is based on the principle of nonlinear electrop…

Bidirectional particle transport and size selective sorting of Brownian particles in a flashing spatially periodic energy landscape

Fernando Martinez-Pedrero, Helena Massana-Cid, Till Ziegler +3

We demonstrate a size sensitive experimental scheme which enables bidirectional transport and fractionation of paramagnetic colloids in a fluid medium. It is shown that two types o…
