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…
Soft and stiff normal modes in floppy colloidal square lattices
Julio Melio, Silke E. Henkes, Daniela J. Kraft
Floppy microscale spring networks are widely studied in theory and simulations, but no well-controlled experimental system currently exists. Here, we show that square lattices cons…
Brownian motion of flexibly-linked colloidal rings
Ruben Verweij, Julio Melio, Indrani Chakraborty +1
Ring, or cyclic, polymers have unique properties compared to linear polymers, due to their topologically closed structure that has no beginning or end. Experimental measurements on…
