Dynamics of self-propelled tracer particles inside a polymer network
, 2022 Transport of tracer particles through mesh-like environments such as biological hydrogels and polymer matrices is ubiquitous in nature. These tracers could be passive, such as colloids or active (self-propelled), such as synthetic nanomotors or bacteria.

Kolmogorovian Active Turbulence of a Sparse Assembly of Interacting Marangoni Surfers
Physical Review X, 2020 Active matter, composed of self-propelled entities, forms a wide class of out-of-equilibrium systems that display striking collective behaviors, among which, the so-called active turbulence where spatially and time-disordered flow patterns spontaneously ...

Metamachines of pluripotent colloids
Nature Communications, 2021 Mobile micromachines have the potential to probe and manipulate matter at small scales emulating the biological machinery of living organisms. Here, the authors take advantage of the anisotropy of self-propelled colloidal heterodimers to control ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Azobenzene photoswitches translate molecular‐scale E/Z photoisomerization into macroscopic material responses and device‐level photonic functions. This Review highlights how azobenzene research has evolved from molecular photochemistry to photoalignment, mass migration, photomechanics, and heat release, ultimately enabling holography, reconfigurable ...

Epidemic processes on self-propelled particles: Continuum and agent-based modeling
Physical Review Research, 2022 Most spreading processes require spatial proximity between agents. The stationary state of spreading dynamics in a population of mobile agents thus depends on the interplay between the time and length scales involved in the epidemic process and their ...

Shape-programmed 3D printed swimming microtori for the transport of passive and active agents
Nature Communications, 2019 While there are many demonstrations of self-propelled synthetic particles, there are fewer realisations of multimode swimming for the same particle. Here the authors demonstrate two swimming behaviours in magnetically manipulated microtori and show that ...
