Sedimentation and levitation of catalytic active colloids
Physical Review Research, 2023 Gravitational effects in colloidal suspensions can be easily turned off by matching the density of the solid microparticles with the one of the surrounding fluid. By studying the motion of catalytic microswimmers with tunable buoyant weight, we show that

Anomalous Dynamics of Colloids and Their Cluster Formation in Active Liquids [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesWe examine the dynamics of individual colloidal particles in active media. Unlike Brownian particles, which display a Gaussian distribution in displacement, the colloids in active media show deviations from this form.

Active colloidal chains with cilia- and flagella-like motion
New Journal of Physics, 2018 It has been shown that self-assembled chains of active colloidal particles can present sustained oscillations. These oscillations are possible because the effective diffusiophoretic forces that mediate the interactions of colloids do not respect the ...
