The study of the formation of condensed, self-ordered phases has remained a central focus in the fields of condensed matter physics and particle physics over the past few decades. Examples of systems capable of forming ordered phases under confinement include electrons on the surface of liquid helium, electrons in quantum dots, and charged particles suspended in plasma1,2. A common...
We experimentally, numerically and analytically explore the diffusive transport of active colloidal particles with sensory delay, navigating motility landscapes in which the self--propulsion speed depends on space. We show how the transport properties can be obtained by replacing the space dependence of the self--propulsion speed by a dynamical stochastic switching process in the absence of...
Morphological control of crystals is utterly important in reticular chemistry, especially as a fundamental strategy toward preparing functional materials of superior properties. Despite the notable advancements in the realm of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), where endeavors primarily focus on shape manipulation at the nano- and microscale during bulk synthesis and subsequent processing at the...
