Porous Media Microstructure Determines the Diffusion of Active Matter: Experiments and Simulations
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 Active swimmers are known to accumulate along external boundaries owing to their persistent self-motion, resulting in a significant reduction in their effective mobility through heterogeneous and tortuous materials.

A cluster theory for a Janus fluid [PDF]
, 2012 Recent Monte Carlo simulations on the Kern and Frenkel model of a Janus fluid have revealed that in the vapour phase there is the formation of preferred clusters made up of a well-defined number of particles: the micelles and the vesicles.

First experiments with carbon black pigment dispersion acting as a Janus ultrasound contrast agent
BIO Integration, 2023 Background: Theranostic ultrasound contrast agents comprise a therapeutic component whose controlled release is triggered by an ultrasound pulse. However, once the therapeutic component has been released from an ultrasound contrast agent microbubble, its

Active Brownian Motion Tunable by Light [PDF]
, 2012 Active Brownian particles are capable of taking up energy from their environment and converting it into directed motion; examples range from chemotactic cells and bacteria to artificial micro-swimmers.

Orientational dynamics of a heated Janus particle [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2018 Using large scale molecular dynamics simulations, we study the orientational dynamics of a heated Janus particle which exhibits self-propulsion. The asymmetry in the microscopic interaction of the colloid with the solvent is implemented by choosing different wetting parameters for the two halves of the sphere.

Flagellar dynamics of chains of active Janus particles fueled by an AC electric field
New Journal of Physics, 2018 We study the active dynamics of self-propelled asymmetrical colloidal particles (Janus particles) fueled by an AC electric field. Both the speed and direction of the self-propulsion, and the strength of the attractive interaction between particles can be
