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 ...

Diffusion properties of self-propelled particles in cellular flows [PDF]
, 2020 We study the dynamics of a self-propelled particle advected by a steady laminar flow. The persistent motion of the self-propelled particle is described by an active Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process.

Guided accumulation of active particles by topological design of a second-order skin effect
Nature Communications, 2021 Sustainable strategies for shepherding active particles are at the heart of many prospective applications. Here, Palacios et al. use the emerging topological properties of a microfluidic maze array to passively guide self-propelled colloids from the ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Molecularly engineered self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) featuring extended conjugated terminals facilitate superior interfacial coupling with the organic solar cell active layer. By physically anchoring the local morphology, this design suppresses thermal degradation, allowing devices to operate at 85°C for 150 h before degrading to 90% of their ...

Experimental observation of flow fields around active Janus spheres
Nature Communications, 2019 In order to predict the behaviours of self-propelled particles it is important to understand the fluid disturbances they generate. Here the authors measure the flow-fields around active particles and show that they are in agreement with theoretical ...

Active colloidal chains with cilia- and flagella-like motion
New Journal of Physics, 2018 It has been shown that self-assembled chains of active colloidal particles can present sustained oscillations. These oscillations are possible because the effective diffusiophoretic forces that mediate the interactions of colloids do not respect the ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Waterborne polyurethane/graphene formulations are developed as piezoresistive coatings on glass fabric to enable flexible strain sensing. The graphene‐enabled conductive network provides a stable electromechanical response under cyclic compression. The coating demonstrates reliable pressure‐dependent resistance changes, highlighting its potential for ...
