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.

Noise and Synchronization of a Single Active Colloid [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2011 A two-state oscillator in a viscous liquid is composed of a micron-scale particle whose intrinsic dynamics is defined by linear potentials that undergo configuration-coupled transitions and is externally driven by a piecewise constant periodic force of varying amplitude and frequency.

Activity-controlled annealing of colloidal monolayers [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 AbstractMolecular motors are essential to the living, generating fluctuations that boost transport and assist assembly. Active colloids, that consume energy to move, hold similar potential for man-made materials controlled by forces generated from within. Yet, their use as a powerhouse in materials science lacks.

Forced microrheology of active colloids
Journal of Rheology, 2022 Particle-tracking microrheology of dilute active (self-propelled) colloidal suspensions is studied by considering the external force required to maintain the steady motion of an immersed constant-velocity colloidal probe. If the probe speed is zero, the suspension microstructure is isotropic but exhibits a boundary accumulation of active bath particles

Odd viscosity in chiral active fluids [PDF]
, 2017 Chiral active fluids are materials composed of self-spinning rotors that continuously inject energy and angular momentum at the microscale. Out-of-equilibrium fluids with active-rotor constituents have been experimentally realized using nanoscale ...

Electric and Magnetic Field-Driven Dynamic Structuring for Smart Functional Devices
Micromachines, 2023 The field of soft matter is rapidly growing and pushing the limits of conventional materials science and engineering. Soft matter refers to materials that are easily deformed by thermal fluctuations and external forces, allowing for better adaptation and

An Active Approach to Colloidal Self-Assembly [PDF]
Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, 2018 In this review, we discuss recent advances in the self-assembly of self-propelled colloidal particles and highlight some of the most exciting results in this field, with a specific focus on dry active matter. We explore this phenomenology through the lens of the complexity of the colloidal building blocks.

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 ...
