Differently from passive Brownian particles, active particles, also known as self-propelled
Brownian particles or microswimmers and nanoswimmers, are capable of taking up energy …

Maturation of robotics research and advances in the miniaturization of machines have
contributed to the development of microbots and enabled new technological possibilities …

Active Brownian particles are capable of taking up energy from their environment and
converting it into directed motion; examples range from chemotactic cells and bacteria to …

Brownian transport of self-propelled overdamped microswimmers (like Janus particles) in
a<? format?> two-dimensional periodically compartmentalized channel is numerically …

Unlike passive Brownian particles, active Brownian particles, also known as
microswimmers, propel themselves with directed motion and thus drive themselves out of …

Self-propelled particles can exhibit surprising non-equilibrium behaviors, and how they
interact with obstacles or boundaries remains an important open problem. Here we show …

Spherical Janus particles are one of the most prominent examples for active Brownian
objects. Here, we study the diffusiophoretic motion of such microswimmers in experiment …

Microscopic swimmers, eg, chemotactic bacteria and cells, are capable of directed motion by
exerting a force on their environment. For asymmetric microswimmers, eg, bacteria …

We use numerical simulations to compute the equation of state of a suspension of spherical
self-propelled nanoparticles in two and three dimensions. We study in detail the effect of …

Self-propelled motion, emerging spontaneously or in response to external cues, is a
hallmark of living organisms. Systems of self-propelled synthetic particles are also relevant …
