Phoresis, the drift of particles induced by scalar gradients in a flow, can result in an effective compressibility, bringing together or repelling particles from each other.

Ionic self-phoresis maps onto correlation-induced self-phoresis
Abstract The recently identified mechanism of correlation-induced (self-)chemophoresis highlights that the motion of a catalytically active particle in response to chemical gradients generated by the activity involves a significant activity-dependent response that lies beyond linear-response theory.

Phoresis and Enhanced Diffusion Compete in Enzyme Chemotaxis [PDF]
Chemotaxis of enzymes in response to gradients in the concentration of their substrate has been widely reported in recent experiments, but a basic understanding of the process is still lacking. Here, we develop a microscopic theory for chemotaxis, valid for enzymes and other small molecules.

PyStokes: phoresis and Stokesian hydrodynamics in Python [PDF]
We present a modular Python library for computing many-body hydrodynamic and phoretic interactions between spherical active particles in suspension, when these are given by solutions of the Stokes and Laplace equations. Underpinning the library is a grid-free methodology that combines dimensionality reduction, spectral expansion, and Ritz-Galerkin ...

First record of Psorophora ferox (Diptera: Culicidae) infested with eggs of Dermatobia hominis (Diptera: Cuterebridae), in Ucayali: Peru [PDF]
Introduction Dermatobia hominis belongs to the Cuterebridae family, Diptera order; These flies inhabit tropical regions where they are called "fly of death" since the larvae are capable of causing lesions in domestic animals, wild animals including ...

In situ enzymatic control of colloidal phoresis and catalysis through hydrolysis of ATP [PDF]
The ability to sense chemical gradients and respond with directional motility and chemical activity is a defining feature of complex living systems. There is a strong interest among scientists to design synthetic systems that emulate these properties ...

Louse flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) of Romania: New records and novel host–parasite and hyperparasites associations [PDF]
This study presents records of ectoparasitic flies from the family Hippoboscidae collected in Romania between 2022 and 2024. A total of seven species were recorded, with Pseudolynchia canariensis (Macquart in Webb and Berthelot, 1839) representing a new ...
