TLDR
In this article, a case of collective dynamics and self-assembly of particles with externally driven torques coupled to a liquid or solid interface is considered, and the complexity of interactions in such systems is further enriched by strong hydrodynamic coupling between particles.Abstract:
Modern self-assembly techniques aiming to produce complex structural order or functional diversity often rely on non-equilibrium conditions in the system. Light, electric, or magnetic fields are predominantly used to modify interaction profiles of colloidal particles during self-assembly or induce complex out-of-equilibrium dynamic ordering. The energy injection rate, properties of the environment are important control parameters that influence the outcome of active (dynamic) self-assembly. The current review is focused on a case of collective dynamics and self-assembly of particles with externally driven torques coupled to a liquid or solid interface. The complexity of interactions in such systems is further enriched by strong hydrodynamic coupling between particles. Unconventionally ordered dynamic self-assembled patterns, spontaneous symmetry breaking phenomena, self-propulsion, and collective transport have been reported in torque-driven colloids. Some of the features of the complex collective behavior and dynamic pattern formation in those active systems have been successfully captured in simulations.read more

TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional chiral liquid consisting of millions of spinning colloidal magnets was created and its flows were studied, and it was shown that dissipative viscous "edge-pumping" is a key and general mechanism of chiral hydrodynamics, driving unidirectional surface waves and instabilities.

Microscopic artificial swimmers
TL;DR: It is shown that a linear chain of colloidal magnetic particles linked by DNA and attached to a red blood cell can act as a flexible artificial flagellum, which induces a beating pattern that propels the structure, and that the external fields can be adjusted to control the velocity and the direction of motion.
