Colloidal fibers and rings by cooperative assembly

Janus colloids with an attractive patch on the surface are model systems to explore structure formation but experimental realizations of such particles are rare. Here, the authors report a scalable method to precisely vary the Janus balance over a wide range and observe the formation of various stru...
