Huygens' clocks at the microscale
Yaocheng Li, Ivan Palaia, Jinzi Mac Huang +2
Weakly coupled oscillators adjust their dynamics to work in unison: they synchronize. This ubiquitous phenomenon is observed for oscillating pendulum, electronic devices, as well a…
Emergent dynamics of active elastic microbeams
Q. Martinet, Y. Li, A. Aubret +2
In equilibrium, the physical properties of matter are set by the interactions between the constituents. In contrast, the energy input of the individual components controls the beha…
Quantitative measurements of non-equilibrium interactions of catalytic microswimmers with dual colloidal tracers
Celso Carrasco, Quentin Martinet, Zaiyi Shen +3
Catalytic microswimmers convert the chemical energy of a fuel into motion, sustaining spatial chemical gradients and fluid flows that drive their propulsion. This leads to unconven…
Rotation Control, Interlocking and Self-positioning of Active Cogwheels
Q. Martinet, A. Aubret, J. Palacci
Gears and cogwheels restrain degrees of freedom and channel power into a specified motion. They are fundamental components of macroscopic machines. Interlocking microrotors similar…
Metamachines of Pluripotent Colloids
A. Aubret, Q. Martinet, J. Palacci
Machines enabled the Industrial Revolution and are central to modern technological progress: A machine's parts transmit forces, motion, and energy to one another in a predetermined…
Diffusiophoretic design of self-spinning microgears from colloidal microswimmers
Antoine Aubret, Jérémie Palacci
Design strategies to assemble dissipative building blocks are essential to create novel and smart materials and machines. We recently demonstrated the hierarchical self-assembly of…
Targeted Assembly and Synchronization of Self-Spinning Microgears
Antoine Aubret, Mena Youssef, Stefano Sacanna +1
Self-assembly is the autonomous organization of components into patterns or structures: an essential ingredient of biology and a desired route to complex organization. At equilibri…
