Structured light enables biomimetic swimming and versatile locomotion of photoresponsive soft microrobots

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.

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.
