Abstract“Colloidal molecules” represent artificial colloidal clusters replicating the geometries of molecules and exhibiting flexibility and fluctuations similar to macromolecules and proteins. Their dynamic and anisotropic characters make them unique and indispensable building blocks for creating hierarchically organized superstructures. Despite the progress in synthesizing and assembling colloidal molecules, unveiling their dynamic characters is challenging in experiments.
