How to steer active colloids up a vertical wall [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAn important challenge in active matter lies in harnessing useful global work from entities that produce work locally, e.g., via self-propulsion. We investigate here the active matter version of a classical capillary rise effect, by considering a non ...

Interactions in active colloids [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2021 Abstract The past two decades have seen a remarkable progress in the development of synthetic colloidal agents which are capable of creating directed motion in an unbiased environment at the microscale. These self-propelling particles are often praised for their enormous potential to self-organize into dynamic nonequilibrium structures ...

Active colloidal molecules in activity gradients [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2022 We consider a rigid assembly of two active Brownian particles, forming an active colloidal dimer, in a gradient of activity. We show analytically that depending on the relative orientation of the two particles the active dimer accumulates in regions of either high or low activity, corresponding to, respectively, chemotaxis and antichemotaxis.

Designing active colloidal folders [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2022 Can active forces be exploited to drive the consistent collapse of an active polymer into a folded structure? In this paper, we introduce and perform numerical simulations of a simple model of active colloidal folders and show that a judicious inclusion of active forces into a stiff colloidal chain can generate designable and reconfigurable two ...

Active colloids orbiting giant vesicles [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2021 A self-propelled Janus colloid performs a persistent orbital motion around a giant unilamellar vesicle, even when the vesicle size is comparable to the particle size.
