Abstract:
Active matter comprises self-driven units that can spontaneously form complex patterns and assemble into functional microdevices. Here, we show that under light-illumination, colloidal particles and their near-critical environment create mutually-coupled co-evolving structures featuring a droplet shape and a colloidal engine. We call them active droploids—a portmanteau of droplet and colloids.
