Manipulation of emergent vortices in swarms of magnetic rollers

Active systems utilize energy input to realize structural complexity and functional diversity. This work shows that magnetic colloidal rollers spontaneously self-organize into unconfined macroscopic vortices under a magnetic field, which can be used to transport inert particles across a flat surface...
