Microscopic active droplets are able to swim autonomously in viscous flows. This puzzling
feature stems from solute exchanges with the surrounding fluid via surface reactions or their …

The field of active matter, and particularly active emulsions, is growing rapidly, with
significant progress made recently on both theoretical and experimental fronts. Here, we …

Fluid flow is ubiquitous in many environments that form habitats for microorganisms.
Therefore, it is not surprising that both biological and artificial microswimmers show …

Self-propulsion of chemically active droplets and phoretic disks has been studied widely;
however, most research overlooks the influence of disk shape on swimming dynamics …

Active drops emit/absorb chemical solutes, whose concentration gradients cause interfacial
flows driving their own transport and the propulsion of the droplet. Such nonlinear coupling …
