Microfluidic biosensors integrating fluid control, target recognition, as well as signal
transduction and output, have been widely used in the field of disease diagnosis, drug …

This paper provides an updated review of recent advances in microfluidics applied to
artificial and biohybrid microswimmers. Sharing the common regime of low Reynolds …

Chemically propelled micropumps are promising wireless systems to autonomously drive
fluid flows for many applications. However, many of these systems are activated by nocuous …

Solubilizing, self-propelling droplets have emerged as a rich chemical platform for the
exploration of active matter, but isotropic droplets rely on spontaneous symmetry breaking to …

Advances in nanotechnology have resulted in a library of functional nanomaterials with well-
defined size, shape, composition, and surface functionalities that enable the conversion of …

Demands for next‐generation soft and responsive materials have sparked recent interest in
the development of shape‐changing particles and particle assemblies. Over the last two …

Possessing the attractive advantages of moderate invasiveness and high compliance, there
is no doubt that microneedles (MNs) have been a gradually rising star in the field of …

A long-standing goal in colloidal active matter is to understand how gradients in fuel
concentration influence the motion of phoretic Janus particles. Here, we present a …

Autonomous micro/nanomotors (MNMs) serve as models for biologically active matter and
have potential applications in nanomachinery, nanoscale assembly, robotics, fluidics, and …

We show both numerically and analytically that a chemically patterned active pore can act
as a micro-or nanopump for fluids, even if it is fore-aft symmetric. This is possible due to a …
