Chemistry in Motion: Tiny Synthetic Motors
Peter H. Colberg, Shang Yik Reigh, Bryan Robertson +1
In this Account, we describe how synthetic motors that operate by self-diffusiophoresis make use of a self-generated concentration gradient to drive motor motion. A description of…
Ångström-scale chemically powered motors
Peter H. Colberg, Raymond Kapral
Like their larger micron-scale counterparts, Ångström-scale chemically self-propelled motors use asymmetric catalytic activity to produce self-generated concentration gradients tha…
Self-propulsion through symmetry breaking
Pierre de Buyl, Alexander S. Mikhailov, Raymond Kapral
In addition to self-propulsion by phoretic mechanisms that arises from an asymmetric distribution of reactive species around a catalytic motor, spherical particles with a uniform d…
