Tunable self-healing of magnetically propelling colloidal carpets
Activity often suppresses equilibrium ordering and crystallization in a group of driven or self-propelling colloids. Massana-Cid et al. show tunable self-healing process, where magnetic colloidal rollers are assembled to crystalline carpets upon a balance between magnetism and hydrodynamic interacti...
