Microscopic origin of tunable assembly forces in chiral active environments
Clay H. Batton, Grant M. Rotskoff
Abstract
, particles driven with a directional torque, produces robust and long-ranged assembly forces. Together, these developments constitute an important step towards a comprehensive theoretical framework for controlling self-assembly in nonequilibrium environments.
