Electrochemistry, although an ancient field of knowledge, has become of paramount
importance in the synthesis of materials at the nanoscale, with great interest not only for …

State-of-the-art biomedical applications such as targeted drug delivery and laparoscopic
surgery are extremely challenging because of the small length scales, the requirements of …

Sperm cells can move at a high speed in biofluids based on the flexible flagella, which
inspire novel flagellar micro-/nanorobots to be designed. Despite progress in fabricating …

Synthetic biomimetic microswimmers are promising agents for in vivo healthcare and
important frameworks to advance the understanding of locomotion strategies and collective …

When supercooled, liquid's viscosity increases dramatically as the glass transition
temperature is approached. Although the physical origin of this behavior is still not …

In this manuscript we describe the realization of a minimal hybrid microswimmer, composed
of a ferromagnetic nanorod and a paramagnetic microsphere. The unbounded pair is …

Downsizing microswimmers to the nanoscale, and using light as an externally controlled
fuel, are two important goals within the field of active matter. Here we demonstrate using all …

We use molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the displacement of a simple butterfly-
like molecular motor inside nanopores of various radii filled with a viscous medium. The …

Confinement of supercooled liquids into nano-pores induces a strong modification of the
dynamics. In this work we raise the issue as how this confinement effect is modified when …

The purpose of this work is to use active particles to investigate the effect of facilitation on
supercooled liquids. To this end we examine the behavior of a model supercooled liquid that …
