3D printing (also called “additive manufacturing” or “rapid prototyping”) is able to translate computer-aided and designed virtual 3D models into 3D tangible constructs/objects through …
Pair interactions between active particles need not follow Newton's third law. In this work, we propose a continuum model of pattern formation due to nonreciprocal interaction between …
We theoretically study mixtures of chemically interacting particles, which produce or consume a chemical to which they are attracted or repelled, in the most general case of …

Recently, robots have assisted and contributed to the biomedical field. Scaling down the size of robots to micro/nanoscale can increase the accuracy of targeted medications and …
Thanks to a constant energy input, active matter can self-assemble into phases with complex architectures and functionalities such as living clusters that dynamically form, reshape, and …
The circular and ring structures in many synthetic or natural systems simultaneously experience local and long-range forces. In this work, we use numerical simulations to …

Distinguishing the operating mechanisms of nano‐and micromotors powered by chemical gradients, ie “autophoresis”, holds the key for fundamental and applied reasons. In this …
Colloidal micromotors can autonomously propel due to their broken symmetry that leads to unbalanced local mechanical forces. Most commonly, micromotors are synthesized to …
