Light-activated Janus particles in geometrically confined binary solvent
Michał Przerwa, Piotr Nowakowski, Takeaki Araki +1
The coupled dynamics of local fields exert a drastic influence on the light-activated self-propulsion of a Janus particle in a binary solvent under spatial confinement. In this wor…
Run and tumble dynamics of a soft robotic cell
Siddhant Mohapatra, Fanny Wéry, Filip Novkoski +3
The continuous regulation of transport properties through softness remains a longstanding challenge in active matter. Here, we show that encasing a programmable active particle wit…
Critical Casimir levitation of colloids above a bull's-eye pattern
Piotr Nowakowski, Nima Farahmand Bafi, Giovanni Volpe +2
Critical Casimir forces emerge among particles or surfaces immersed in a near-critical fluid, with the sign of the force determined by surface properties and with its strength tuna…
Nanoalignment by Critical Casimir Torques
Gan Wang, Piotr Nowakowski, Nima Farahmand Bafi +7
The manipulation of microscopic objects requires precise and controllable forces and torques. Recent advances have led to the use of critical Casimir forces as a powerful tool, whi…
Effective Pair Interaction of Patchy Particles in Critical Fluids
Nima Farahmand Bafi, Piotr Nowakowski, Siegfried Dietrich
We study the critical Casimir interaction between two spherical colloids immersed in a binary liquid mixture close to its critical demixing point. The surface of each colloid prefe…
