  - 'Self-assembly is the autonomous organization of components into patterns or structures:
    an essential ingredient of biology and a desired route to complex organization1.
    At equilibrium, the structure is encoded through specific interactions2,3,4,5,6,7,8,
    at an unfavourable entropic cost for the system. An alternative approach, widely
    used by nature, uses energy input to bypass the entropy bottleneck and develop
    features otherwise impossible at equilibrium9. Dissipative building blocks that
    inject energy locally were made available by recent advances in colloidal science10,11
    but have not been used to control self-assembly. Here we show the targeted formation
    of self-powered microgears from active particles and their autonomous synchronization
    into dynamical superstructures. We use a photoactive component that consumes fuel,
    haematite, to devise phototactic microswimmers that form self-spinning microgears
    following spatiotemporal light patterns. The gears are coupled via their chemical
    clouds by diffusiophoresis12 and constitute the elementary bricks of synchronized
    superstructures, which autonomously regulate their dynamics. The results are quantitatively
    rationalized on the basis of a stochastic description of diffusio-phoretic oscillators
    dynamically coupled by chemical gradients. Our findings harness non-equilibrium
    phoretic phenomena to program interactions and direct self-assembly with fidelity
    and specificity. It lays the groundwork for the autonomous construction of dynamical
    architectures and functional micro-machinery.@eng'
