Swimming at the microscale typically involves two modes of motion: mechanical propulsion and propulsion due to field interactions. During mechanical propulsion, particles swim by …
In an externally imposed electrolyte (salt) concentration gradient, charged colloids drift at speeds of order one micrometre per second. This phenomenon is known as …

Hypothesis Through a large parameter space, electric fields can tune colloidal interactions and forces leading to diverse static and dynamical structures. So far, however, field-driven …
Soluto-inertial (SI) suspension interactions involve nonequilibrium colloidal migration over millimeters, driven by “beacons” that establish long-lasting chemical gradients. Previous …
Complex fluids and colloidal systems are ubiquitous in chemical formulations and manufacturing. Often, transport of colloidal actives is important for the proper function and …
