Abstract

The front cover artwork is provided by the Sen group at Penn State (USA). The image shows how active Ag3PO4 particles herd inactive SiO2 particles into colloidal crystals that exhibit oscillatory motion. The crystals disperse then rejoin/reorganize, undergoing “autonomous annealing”. Read the full text of the Communication at 10.1002/syst.201900021.
