Popis: Janus colloids with an attractive patch on the surface are model systems to explore structure formation but experimental realizations of such particles are rare. Here, the authors report a scalable method to precisely vary the Janus balance over a wide range and observe the formation of various structures including fibers, bilayers, and nonequilibrium rings catalyzed by substrate binding.
