New approach to reconfigurable colloidal assemblies paves way for adaptive smart materials

Colloidal self-assembly is a process where colloidal particles spontaneously organize into ordered structures under specific conditions. Colloidal self-assembly serves as a foundation for designing materials like optoelectronic devices and sensors. One of the most intriguing frontiers in colloidal self-assembly is the development of active colloidal assemblies, which exhibit dynamic behavior and can adapt to external stimuli. Colloidal self-assembly is a process where colloidal particles spontaneously organize into ordered structures under specific conditions.
