Light-switchable propulsion of active particles with reversible interactions

Fast control over propulsion direction modulates interactions between self-propelled particles and opens new avenues for the design of active materials. Here, the authors present a light-active system that allows rapid direction reversal, leading to controlled fusion and fission of colloidal assembl...
