Validation of an innovative algorithm for detecting self-propulsion in manual wheelchair users. [PDF]
J Rehabil Assist Technol EngIntroduction Actimetry is increasingly used to measure physical activity (PA) for manual wheelchair (MWC) users. However, conversion of raw data into interpretable PA outcomes remains imprecise, and the differentiation between propulsion and non ...

Self-propulsion of a metallic superoleophobic micro-boat [PDF]
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2016 The self-propulsion of a heavy, superoleophobic, metallic micro-boat carrying a droplet of various aqueous alcohol solutions as a fuel tank is reported. The micro boat is driven by the solutocapillary Marangoni flow. The jump in the surface tension owing to the condensation of alcohols on the water surface was established experimentally.

Intrinsic enzymatic properties modulate the self-propulsion of micromotors. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2019 Self-propulsion of biocatalytic micro- and nanomotors is facilitated by enzymes converting substrates into products. Here, the authors show that intrinsic enzymatic properties such as conformational changes are crucial for the self-propulsion of silica ...

Hydrophobic Janus Foam Motors: Self-Propulsion and On-The-Fly Oil Absorption. [PDF]
Micromachines (Basel), 2018 In this work, we for the first time have proposed and fabricated a self-propelled Janus foam motor for on-the-fly oil absorption on water by simply loading camphor/stearic acid (SA) mixture as fuels into one end of the SA-modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)
