Living organisms employ chemical self-organization to build structures, and inspire new
strategies to design synthetic systems that spontaneously take a particular form, via a …

Droplets are attractive building blocks for dynamic matter that organizes into adaptive
structures. Communication among collectively operating droplets opens untapped potential …

Droplets on a liquid substrate ('liquid lenses') play an important role in various branches of
engineering, including microfluidics, chemical engineering, environment protection, etc. In …

For almost 200 y, the dominant approach to understand oil-on-water droplet shape and
stability has been the thermodynamic expectation of minimized energy, yet parallel literature …

Subsequent synthesis and detection using droplets as microreactors have shown promise in
the development of novel materials and drugs because microreactors enable small-scale …

Self-organization of meso-and macroscale structures is a highly active research field that
exploits a wide variety of physicochemical phenomena, including surface tension …

Positional information is key for particles to adapt their behavior based on their position in
external concentration gradients, and thereby self‐organize into complex patterns. Here …

Self-propelled droplets can spontaneously move using chemical energy. In several reports
of self-propelled droplets, interfacial chemical reactions occur at the oil/aqueous interface to …

We report herein experimental observations of the reciprocating motion of a self-propelled
droplet floating on the surface of an aqueous surfactant solution and a simple reaction …

We consider the motion of a self-propelled object of rectangular shape inside a circular
water chamber. The mathematical model of self-motion includes equations for the …
