摘要: External control of the swimming speed `active particles' can be used to self assemble designer structures in situ on micrometer millimeter scale. We demonstrate such reconfigurable templated active assembly a fluid environment using light powered strains Escherichia coli. The physics and biology controlling sharpness formation patterns is investigated bespoke fast-responding strain.
