Self-Propelled Janus Particles
2021Design and operation of Janus particles have a great potential for applications in fields such as environmental remediation, electronic engineering, bio-imaging, bio-sensing, drug delivery and other biomedical tasks. Current research aims to imitate the molecular motors of biological systems by creating micro- and nano-scale particles which can exploit

Autonomous Self-Propelling Microcircuit Particles
2006Abstract : We show that various types of miniature semiconductor diodes floating in water act as self-propelling particles when powered by external alternating electric field. The millimeter-sized diodes rectify the voltage induced between their electrodes.

Recent advances in self-propelled particles
Science China Chemistry, 2017“Active” components can be introduced into a passive system to completely change its physical behavior from its typical behavior at thermodynamic equilibrium. To reveal the interaction mechanisms between individuals, researchers have designed unique self-propelled particles to mimic the collective behavior of biological systems.

Deformable self-propelled particles with a global coupling
Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2010We have proposed a model of deformable self-propelled particles in which the time-evolution equations are given in terms of the center-of-mass velocity and a nematic order parameter representing the motion-induced deformation [T. Ohta and T. Ohkuma, Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 154101 (2009)].

SELF-PROPELLED INTERACTING PARTICLE SYSTEMS WITH ROOSTING FORCE
Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences, 2010We consider a self-propelled interacting particle system for the collective behavior of swarms of animals, and extend it with an attraction term called roosting force, as it has been suggested in Ref. 30. This new force models the tendency of birds to overfly a fixed preferred location, e.g. a nest or a food source. We include roosting to the existing
