Hydrophobic Janus Foam Motors: Self-Propulsion and On-The-Fly Oil Absorption [PDF]
Micromachines, 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)

The Self-Propulsion of the Spherical Pt–SiO2 Janus Micro-Motor [PDF]
Micromachines (Basel), 2017 The double-faced Janus micro-motor, which utilizes the heterogeneity between its two hemispheres to generate self-propulsion, has shown great potential in water cleaning, drug delivery in micro/nanofluidics, and provision of power for a novel micro ...

Validation of an innovative algorithm for detecting self-propulsion in manual wheelchair users [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies EngineeringIntroduction 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 ...

Intrinsic enzymatic properties modulate the self-propulsion of micromotors [PDF]
Nature Communications, 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 ...
