Our particles are magnetite-doped colloidal spheres driven by the Quincke electrorotational instability. The absence of a magnetic field (|𝑩|=0) leads to circular trajectories interspersed with short spontaneous runs. Intermediate fields (|𝑩|≲20mT) linearize the motion along the axis perpendicular to 𝑩. At high magnetic fields, we observe the surprising emergence of a second, distinct linearization along the axis parallel to 𝑩. With numerical simulations, we show that this behavior can be explained by anisotropic magnetic susceptibility."}],"PlanS_conform":"1","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"},{"_id":"NanoFab"},{"_id":"ScienComp"},{"_id":"LifeSc"}],"quality_controlled":"1","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2470-0045"],"eissn":["2470-0053"]},"intvolume":"       112","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","status":"public","ddc":["530"],"OA_type":"hybrid","issue":"6","type":"journal_article","date_published":"2025-12-01T00:00:00Z","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"department":[{"_id":"ScWa"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","citation":{"apa":"Fitzgerald, E., Clavaud, C., Das, D., Lenton, I.
