Stefano Palagi,Andrew G. Mark,Shang Yik Reigh,Kai Melde,Tian Qiu,Tian Qiu,Hao Zeng,Camilla Parmeggiani,Daniele Martella,Alberto Sanchez-Castillo,Nadia Kapernaum,Frank Giesselmann,Diederik S. Wiersma,Eric Lauga,Peer Fischer,Peer Fischer +15 more
TL;DR: Soft microrobots consisting of photoactive liquid-crystal elastomers can be driven by structured monochromatic light to perform sophisticated biomimetic motions and multiple gaits, mimicking either symplectic or antiplectic metachrony of ciliate protozoa are confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synchronization and bundling of anchored bacterial flagella
TL;DR: In this paper, the synchronization and bundling process of bacterial flagella is investigated by mesoscale hydrodynamic simulations, and the characteristic times for synchronization, bundling, and separation are analyzed in terms of motor torque, separation, and number of flages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemistry in Motion: Tiny Synthetic Motors
TL;DR: How synthetic motors that operate by self-diffusiophoresis make use of a self-generated concentration gradient to drive motor motion is described, which addresses the question: how small can motors be and still exhibit effects due to propulsion, even if only to enhance diffusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic dimer nanomotors: continuum theory and microscopic dynamics.
Shang Yik Reigh,Raymond Kapral +1 more
TL;DR: This work derives the dependence of motor velocity on geometric factors such as sphere size and dimer bond length and, thus, shows how to construct motors with specific characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemistry in Motion: Tiny Synthetic Motors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how synthetic motors that operate by self-diffusiophoresis make use of a self-generated concentration gradient to drive motor motion and demonstrate the properties of the dynamics of chemically powered motors.
