Multi‐Responsive Bowl‐Shaped Janus Nanomotors Based on Polyitaconic acid/Polypyrrole on the Surface of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles with Chemical, Electrical, and Magnetic Field Actuation for Targeted Drug Delivery Applications

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Bowl‐shaped Janus nanomotors with platinum, iron oxide, and polypyrrole integrate catalytic, magnetic, and electric propulsion for targeted drug delivery. They demonstrate controlled, directional motion under varying pH and hydrogen peroxide conditions, with optimal performance in neutral media.

Theory of light-activated catalytic Janus particles

open access: yes, 2019
We study the dynamics of active Janus particles that self-propel in solution by light-activated catalytic decomposition of chemical "fuel." We develop an analytical model of a photo-active self-phoretic particle that accounts for "self-shadowing" of the ...

The scale matters: A review on stimuli‐responsive microrobots categorized by scale for biomedical applications

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
We systematically summarize how each scale dictates fundamental choices in design feature, manufacturing technology, driving mechanism, and control strategy, which are inherently governed by scale‐dominated physical principles. Furthermore, the application of scale‐determined operation modes of microrobots across different stages of medical ...
