DNA engineered micromotors powered by metal nanoparticles for motion based cellphone diagnostics
Nature Communications, 2018 Micromotors have a range of potential healthcare applications. Here, the authors describe the development of a metal nanoparticle DNA micromotor which can be used to detect human HIV-1 by a change in the motion of the micromotors, monitored by cell phone

Gnat Robots (And How They Will Change Robotics) [PDF]
, 1987 A new concept in mobile robots is proposed, namely that of a gnat-sized autonomous robot with on-board sensors, brains, actuators and power supplies, all fabricated on a single piece of silicon.

Management of Gingival Overgrowth During Orthodontic Treatment Using a Blue Laser: A Case Report
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Blue laser‐assisted management of gingival overgrowth demonstrated excellent healing with minimal postoperative scarring, along with reduced pain and bleeding, and a relatively shorter surgical time. Despite a partial relapse observed after 3 months, this incisional intervention facilitated the orthodontist's ability to achieve a more ...

Active Particles in Tunable Compressible Environments
Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2026.Gold‐capped active microparticles powered by electric fields plough their way through a matrix of repulsive spheres, shoveling them aside. At high densities and field strengths, an initial strong direction fluctuation may compress the matrix asymmetrically and lead to an asymmetric reaction favoring sustained turns to the same side (spontaneous ...

Janus droplet as a catalytic micromotor
, 2015 Self-propulsion of a Janus droplet in a solution of surfactant, which reacts on a half of a drop surface, is studied theoretically. The droplet acts as a catalytic motor creating a concentration gradient, which generates its surface-tension-driven motion;

Light control of the flow of phototactic microswimmer suspensions
, 2013 Some micro-algae are sensitive to light intensity gradients. This property is known as phototaxis: the algae swim toward a light source (positive phototaxis). We use this property to control the motion of micro-algae within a Poiseuille flow using light.

Interaction between catalytic micro motors
, 2015 Starting from a microscopic model for a spherically symmetric active Janus particle, we study the interactions between two such active motors. The ambient fluid mediates a long range hydrodynamic interaction between two motors.
