Enhancement of swimmer diffusion through regular kicks: analytic mapping of a scale independent parameter space
Arnau Jurado Romero, Carles Calero, Rossend Rey
Depending on their mechanism of self-propulsion, active particles can exhibit a time-dependent, often periodic, propulsion velocity. The precise propulsion velocity profile determi…

Self-thermophoresis at the nanoscale using light induced solvation dynamics
Carles Calero, Edwin L. Sibert, Rossend Rey
Downsizing microswimmers to the nanoscale, and using light as an externally controlled fuel, are two important goals within the field of active matter. Here we demonstrate using al…
