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…
