Colloidal Pivots Enable Brownian Metamaterials and Machines
Julio Melio, Martin van Hecke, Silke E. Henkes +1
Biological machines harness targeted deformations that can be actuated by Brownian fluctuations. However, while synthetic micromachines can similarly leverage targeted deformations…

The motion of catalytically active colloids approaching a surface
Julio Melio, Solenn Riedel, Ali Azadbakht +6
Catalytic microswimmers typically swim close to walls due to hydrodynamic and/or phoretic effects. The walls in turn are known to affect their propulsion, making it difficult to si…
