Opto-thermoelectric microswimmers [PDF]
Light: Science & Applications, 2020 Abstract Inspired by the “run-and-tumble” behaviours of Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) cells, we develop opto-thermoelectric microswimmers. The microswimmers are based on dielectric-Au Janus particles driven by a self-sustained electrical field that arises from the asymmetric ...

Photogravitactic Microswimmers [PDF]
Advanced Functional Materials, 2018 AbstractPhototactic microorganisms are commonly observed to respond to natural sunlight by swimming upward against gravity. This study demonstrates that synthetic photochemically active microswimmers can also swim against gravity. The particles initially sediment and, when illuminated at low light intensities exhibit wall‐bound states of motion near ...

The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2016 Hot microswimmers are self-propelled Brownian particles that exploit local heating for their directed self-thermophoretic motion. We provide a pedagogical overview of the key physical mechanisms underlying this promising new technology. It covers the hydrodynamics of swimming, thermophoresis and -osmosis, hot Brownian motion, force-free steering, and ...
