Abstract
W henmolecules or bacteria organize into a long-range pattern, researchers want to understand how themicroscopic interactions lead to the macroscopic order. Pietro Tierno of the University of Barcelona and his colleagues observed such self-organization in magnetic particles suspended in a liquid and subjected to an oscillating magnetic field [1]. Through experiments and simulations, the team showed that the resulting zigzag pattern is explained by the fluid flow generated around the oscillating particles, not by any details of the particles or the applied field. Similar zigzag patterns have also been seen in charged colloids subjected to
