Chemically Powered Micro- and Nanomotors
TL;DR: This Review summarizes the major advances in the growing field of catalytic nanomotors, which started ten years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergent behavior in active colloids
TL;DR: Active colloids are microscopic particles which self-propel through viscous fluids by converting energy extracted from their environment into directed motion as discussed by the authors, where artificial microswimmers move forward by generating near-surface flow fields via self-phoresis or the self-induced Marangoni effect.
