Overdamped active Brownian motion of self-propelled particles in a liquid has been fairly
well studied. However, there are a variety of situations in which the overdamped …

The review covers the research on thermocapillary convection caused by the thermal action
of laser radiation in single-layer and bilayer liquid systems of capillary thickness. The …

Here we show that microgels trapped at a solid wall can issue liquid flow and transport over
distances several times larger than the particle size. The microgel consists of cross-linked …

It has been recently reported that elastic waves induced by nanosecond light pulses can be
used to drive nanomotion of micro-objects on frictional solid interfaces, a challenging task for …

Here we report on light-triggered generation of local flow utilizing a bio-compatible non-ionic
photo-active surfactant. The mechanism is based on diffusioosmotic phenomenon, where …

Separation of particles by size, morphology, or material identity is of paramount importance
in fields such as filtration or bioanalytics. Up to now separation of particles distinguished …

Optical excitation of colloids can be harnessed to realize soft matter systems that are out of
equilibrium. In this paper, we present our experimental studies on the dynamics of silica …

In this paper, the phenomenon of light‐driven diffusioosmotic (DO) long‐range attractive and
repulsive interactions between micro‐sized objects trapped near a solid wall is investigated …

Active particles have been regarded as the key models to mimic and understand the
complex systems of nature. Although chemical and field-powered active particles have …

In this article, a novel strategy is presented to selectively separate a mixture of equally sized
microparticles but differences in material composition and surface properties. The principle …
