The project investigates collective behavior in active colloids, focusing on both synthetic and natural motile particles like bacteria. By employing differential dynamic microscopy, it aims to uncover fundamental physics insights and develop design principles for new self-assembled structures.
Collective behaviour is ubiquitous in nature: from crystallization through to animal swarming.
Such phenomena are ubiquitous in colloids– 0.1-1micron particles suspended in liquids by Brownian motion – and are responsible for their amazing ability to ‘self assemble’.
The self assembly of colloids is now an established route to new materials, e.g. photonic crystals.
Recently, active colloidal particles capable of self propulsion have been synthesized.
Their collective behaviour is completely unkn…
