Unraveling Modular Microswimmers: From Self-Assembly to Ion-Exchange Driven Motors
Benno Liebchen, Ran Niu, Thomas Palberg +1
Active systems contain self-propelled particles and can spontaneously self-organize into patterns making them attractive candidates for the self-assembly of smart soft materials. O…
Modular approach to microswimming
Ran Niu, Thomas Palberg
The field of active matter in general and microswimming in particular has experienced a rapid and ongoing expansion over the last decade. A particular interesting aspect is provide…
Colloidal electro-phoresis in the presence of symmetric and asymmetric electro-osmotic flow
Denis Botin, Jennifer Wenzl, Ran Niu +1
We characterize the electro-phoretic motion of charged sphere suspensions in the presence of substantial electro-osmotic flow using a recently introduced small angle super-heterody…
Seedless assembly of colloidal crystals by inverted micro-fluidic pumping
Ran Niu, Thomas Palberg
We propose a simple seedless approach to assemble millimeter sized monolayer single colloidal crystals with desired orientations at predetermined locations on an unstructured charg…
