(a) The variation of center to center separation distance between two peanut-shaped particles with parallel dipolar configuration as a function of time. Red line is the best fit to the equation: \(R(t)={(R{\mathrm{(0)}}^{5}-5\alpha t)}^{\mathrm{1/5}}\) with α = 2.1 × 104 μm5/s. (b) Time coded trajectories of a dipolar particle from different angles with respect to another at the centre. Each trajectory is recorded for time interval from T0 = 0 s to Tmax = 144 s.
