Interaction‐Driven Assembly Pathways in Heterogeneous Active Microrobotic Systems
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Peanut‐ and cube‐shaped light‐powered microrobots exhibit distinct magnetic and photocatalytic responses that determine their heterogeneous self‐assembly. In the dark, magnetic dipole interactions drive colloidal copolymerization with cubes acting as nucleation centers, whereas under light irradiation, phoretic interactions compete with magnetic ...
