“Manipulating Colloidal Interactions with Light Using a Photo-Sensitive Surfactant and Cyanine-Based Dye”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38095206

This study demonstrates that a photo-sensitive surfactant and cyanine-based dye can be used in aqueous solution to manipulate and control the interaction potential of porous colloids using light-induced osmotic pressure gradients, enabling the formation of well-ordered surface aggregates.
