Deskripsi

Active colloidal systems can serve as an enabling platform to study complex out-of-equilibrium physical phenomena. Using a magnetic control with a feedback loop, here the authors program the dynamics of active Brownian particles by updating their rotational diffusion coefficient depending on their locations.
