Active colloids are microscopic particles, which self-propel through viscous fluids by converting energy extracted from their environment into directed motion. We first explain …
Chemically powered micro‐and nanomotors are small devices that are self‐propelled by catalytic reactions in fluids. Taking inspiration from biomotors, scientists are aiming to find …
This review summarizes theoretical progress in the field of active matter, placing it in the context of recent experiments. This approach offers a unified framework for the mechanical …
Janus particles are colloidal particles with more than a single type of surface chemistry or composition, ranging in size from hundreds of nanometers to a few micrometers. Like …
We study experimentally and numerically a (quasi-) two-dimensional colloidal suspension of self-propelled spherical particles. The particles are carbon-coated Janus particles, which are …
