Light‐Activated Micromotors in Air Propelled by Thermal Convection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Near‐infrared‐driven micromotors in air can overcome gravity and generate convective motion by a light‐induced thermal mechanism driven by a temperature gradient in the air caused by the interaction of the gold nanoparticles present on the surface of ZnO and NIR irradiation.
