  bibo_abstract:
  - Clustering of fine particles is of crucial importance in settings ranging from
    the early stages of planet formation to the coagulation of industrial powders
    and airborne pollutants. Models of such clustering typically focus on inelastic
    deformation and cohesion. However, even in charge-neutral particle systems comprising
    grains of the same dielectric material, tribocharging can generate large amounts
    of net positive or negative charge on individual particles, resulting in long-range
    electrostatic forces. The effects of such forces on cluster formation are not
    well understood and have so far not been studied in situ. Here we report the first
    observations of individual collide-and-capture events between charged submillimetre
    particles, including Kepler-like orbits. Charged particles can become trapped
    in their mutual electrostatic energy well and aggregate via multiple bounces.
    This enables the initiation of clustering at relative velocities much larger than
    the upper limit for sticking after a head-on collision, a long-standing issue
    known from pre-planetary dust aggregation. Moreover, Coulomb interactions together
    with dielectric polarization are found to stabilize characteristic molecule-like
    configurations, providing new insights for the modelling of clustering dynamics
    in a wide range of microscopic dielectric systems, such as charged polarizable
    ions, biomolecules and colloids.@eng
