This review explores the intersection between two important fields of colloid and interface
science–that of active colloidal particles and of (passive) particles at fluid-fluid interfaces …

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 …

To realize the continuous development of information and communication equipment, it is
also important to develop devices with new operating principles that overcome the functional …

A variety of moving objects driven by chemical energy have been reported. In this
Minireview, we focus on self‐propelled objects driven by interfacial tension and explain …

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

The unconventional computing is a niche for interdisciplinary science, cross-bred of
computer science, physics, mathematics, chemistry, electronic engineering, biology, material …

We introduce multi-gradients including Laplace pressure gradient, wettable gradient and
wettable different gradient on a high adhesion surface via special wedge-pattern and …

Spreading on the free surface of a complex fluid is ubiquitous in nature and industry, such as
drug delivery, oil spill, and surface treatment with patterns. Here, we report on a fingering …

Simulating nature to manufacture a self-powered device or motor has been an important
goal in science and engineering. Conventional spontaneous motion has generally been …

Field-assisted self-assembly, motion, and manipulation of droplets have gained much
attention in the past decades. We exhibit an electric field manipulation of the motion of a …
