Tunable self-assembly of magnetotactic bacteria: Role of hydrodynamics and magnetism

Self-assembly is an important process in biological systems and also a promising avenue toward dynamic and responsive micro- and nano-technologies. This study discusses the non-equilibrium self-assembly of inherently magnetic bacteria oriented perpendicular to a solid surface. An interplay between h...
