Observational analysis reveals slipping transitions in 61-particle crystalline rotors, indicating unique behavior under confinement.
Quincke roller active colloids self-assemble under confinement into rotors. A “magic number” of 61 particles forms a tiny crystallite which rotes and undergoes a series of slipping transitions as activity is increased.
