Active matter systems – such as a suspension of microorganisms or synthetic microswimmers – dissipate energy and maintain exciting collective dynamics. This talk will discuss three distinct experimental colloidal systems. The first part of the talk will be about the emergence of rigidity from phoretic self-interactions in an active polymer. Then, I will explain the experimental observed morphologies of electric-field-driven cracks in dried dispersions of ellipsoids. Finally, I will talk about a method to trap microparticles outside a laser beam using phoretic and hydrodynamic interactions.
