Onsager reciprocal relations and chemo-mechanical coupling for chemically active colloids. [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Physics, 2022 Similar to cells, bacteria, and other micro-organisms, synthetic chemically active colloids can harness the energy from their environment through a surface chemical reaction and use the energy to self-propel in fluidic environments.

Guiding Self-Assembly of Active Colloids by Temporal Modulation of Activity. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2022 Self-organization phenomena in ensembles of self-propelled particles open pathways to the synthesis of new dynamic states not accessible by traditional equilibrium processes. The challenge is to develop a set of principles that facilitate the control and

Active Colloids as Models, Materials, and Machines.
Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, 2023 Active colloids use energy input at the particle level to propel persistent motion and direct dynamic assemblies. We consider three types of colloids animated by chemical reactions, time-varying magnetic fields, and electric currents.

Anomalous Cooling and Overcooling of Active Colloids. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2021 The phenomenon that a system at a hot temperature cools faster than at a warm temperature, referred to as the Mpemba effect, has recently been realized for trapped colloids.

Pair Interaction between Two Catalytically Active Colloids.
Small, 2023 Due to the intrinsically complex non-equilibrium behavior of the constituents of active matter systems, a comprehensive understanding of their collective properties is a challenge that requires systematic bottom-up characterization of the individual ...

Modeling Active Colloids: From Active Brownian Particles to Hydrodynamic and Chemical Fields
Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2022 Active colloids are self-propelled particles moving in viscous fluids by consuming fuel from their surroundings. Here, we review the numerical and theoretical modeling of active colloids propelled by self-generated near-surface flows.
