Self-assembly of catalytically active colloidal molecules: Tailoring activity through surface chemistry

A heterogeneous and dilute suspension of catalytically active colloids is studied as a nonequilibrium analogue of ionic systems, which has the remarkable feature of action-reaction symmetry breaking. Symmetrically coated colloids are found to join up to form self-assembled molecules that could be in...
