IntroductionRecent years have seen significant developments in making colloids with complex architectures and functionalities. Examples include; ellipsoids [8, 9], colloidal bowls [10], cubes [11], dumbbells [12], colloidal molecules [13], polyhedral shaped particles [14], stars [15], tetrahedral shaped particles [16]. Given their wide variety in size, shape, material and tunability of their close-range interactions' strength and direction, colloids are excellent tools for understanding structure-function relationships. They can be used as building blocks for designing new materials with controllable properties [17]. For example, patchy particles with site-specific interactions are used as building blocks for designing The Colloidal Glass TransitionGlasses are disordered solid materials that resemble crystalline solids due to their mechanical rigidity, but also resemble liquids due to their disordered molecular structure. These dual characteristics make understanding glass-forming materials
