Active colloidal rafts perform swimming strokes that propel their host droplets
Airi N. Kato, Julien Brémont, Etienne Harté +3
Active particles confined in droplets can set their host droplet into motion. This phenomenon is usually attributed to direct hydrodynamic forcing by the enclosed particles. Here w…
Active particle in a very thin interfacial droplet
Airi N. Kato, Kaili Xie, Benjamin Gorin +2
A single light-driven Janus particle confined in a very thin oil droplet at an air--water interface displays intriguing dynamics. While laser activation induces rapid horizontal mo…
How Surface Roughness Affects the Interparticle Interactions at a Liquid Interface
Airi N. Kato, Yujie Jiang, Wei Chen +2
Shapes of colloids matter at liquid interfaces. We explore the interactions between rough-surfaced nanocolloids at the air--water interface through the compaction of monolayers exp…
Active colloid with externally induced periodic bipolar motility and its cooperative motion
Airi N. Kato, Kazumasa A. Takeuchi, Masaki Sano
Active matter physics has been developed with various types of self-propelled particles, including those with polar and bipolar motility and beyond. However, the bipolar motions ex…
