To address and extend the finite lifetime of Mg-based micromotors due to the depletion of
the engine (Mg-core), we examine electric fields, along with previously studied magnetic …

Previous micromotor-based biosensing studies used to functionalize the surface of the
micromotor with specific molecular probes for binding of target analyte, thus limiting the use …

The collective motion of synthetic active colloids is an emerging area of research in soft
matter physics and is important both as a platform for fundamental studies ranging from non …

Hypothesis The interaction of active particles with walls can explain discrepancies between
experiments and theory derived for particles in the bulk. For an electric field driven …

Herein the effective electrical propulsion, cargo trapping, and transport capabilities of
microbowl‐shaped Janus particles (JPs) are demonstrated and evaluated. These active JPs …

Advances in fabrication methods have positioned Janus micromotors (JMs) as candidates
