Understanding, controlling, and directing the assembly of colloids and nanoparticles requires a delicate interplay of non-equilibrium, long-range, competing interactions1 . An ability to “dial-in” the range, strength, and cooperativity of these interactions in a pre-programmable manner is the key to tailor the soft microstructures and thus develop active and reconfigurable materials. The presence of a gravitational field can hinder, even prevent such self-assembly as a competing force acting to disrupt the intended structure2 .
