Standard active particles tend to accumulate at boundaries, forming clusters even at relatively low densities. In the presence of magnetic interactions, we provide evidence for a  effect that inhibits clustering and shifts its onset to higher packing fractions. Moreover, magnetic dipolar interactions give rise to collective behaviors such as train-like formations, rotating pairs, and rotating clusters."}],"type":"journal_article","file_date_updated":"2026-07-14T06:58:35Z","scopus_import":"1","dataavailabilitystatement":"The data that support the findings of this article are not\r\npublicly available upon publication because it is not technically\r\nfeasible and/or the cost of preparing, depositing, and\r\nhosting the data would be prohibitive within the terms of this\r\nresearch project.
