Less than 1% of Earth's freshwater reserves is accessible. Industrialization, population
growth and climate change are further exacerbating clean water shortage. Current water …

Light carries energy and momentum. It can therefore alter the motion of objects on the
atomic to astronomical scales. Being widely available, readily controllable, and broadly …

Reconfigurable modular microfluidics presents an opportunity for flexibly constructing
prototypes of advanced microfluidic systems. Nevertheless, the strategy of directly …

A key challenge underlying the design of miniature machines is encoding materials with
time‐and space‐specific functional behaviors that require little human intervention …

The field of biosensor development is fueled by innovations in new functional transduction
materials and technologies. Material innovations promise to extend current sensor hardware …

We demonstrate a novel, rapid, and cost-effective biosensing paradigm that is based on an
in situ visualization of bacterial exoenzyme activity using biphasic Janus emulsion droplets …

Nanomotors with active motion have recently attracted wide attention. Researchers have
developed a series of nanomotors with different architectures and propulsion mechanisms …

A straightforward method for visualization and quantification of surfactant effectiveness
within different electrolyte environments based on using reconfigurable Janus emulsions as …

Micro/nanorobots (MNRs) capable of performing tasks at the micro-and nanoscale hold
great promise for applications in cutting-edge fields such as biomedical engineering …

Reconstructing recursive chemotaxis in inanimate self-propelled objects is inevitable in the
development of recursively and autonomously artificial mass transport systems. However …
