  "abstract": "Binary active systems offer a minimal platform for understanding how component heterogeneity organizes non-equilibrium structures. Here we show that in a binary Quincke system driven by a periodic square-wave electric field, a dynamic square lattice in which small particles occupy the lattice-cell centers which are surrounded by large particles emerges spontaneously. Particle-resolved trajectories reveal that the size separation arises from the mobility difference of large particles and small particles. Increasing the driving frequency reduces the single-cycle path lengths of both species and simultaneously decreases the lattice constant. These results show how size-dependent activity,density redistribution, and periodic forcing cooperate to generate tunable complex active patterns.",
