Capillary-driven self-assembly of soft ellipsoidal microgels at the air–water interface

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 121, Issue 52, December 2024.
SignificanceCapillary interactions arise when colloids adsorb at and distort fluid interfaces. This effect is particularly relevant for anisotropic colloids pinned at fluid interfaces due to the nonconstant curvature of their surfaces. When the colloids …
