Viscotaxis: microswimmer navigation in viscosity gradients
Benno Liebchen, Paul Monderkamp, Borge ten Hagen +1
The survival of many microorganisms, like \textit{Leptospira} or \textit{Spiroplasma} bacteria, can depend on their ability to navigate towards regions of favorable viscosity. Whil…
Helical paths, gravitaxis, and separation phenomena for mass-anisotropic self-propelling colloids: experiment versus theory
Andrew I. Campbell, Raphael Wittkowski, Borge ten Hagen +2
The self-propulsion mechanism of active colloidal particles often generates not only translational but also rotational motion. For particles with an anisotropic mass density under…
Phototaxis of synthetic microswimmers in optical landscapes
Celia Lozano, Borge ten Hagen, Hartmut Löwen +1
Many microorganisms, with phytoplankton and zooplankton as prominent examples, display phototactic behaviour, that is, the ability to perform directed motion within a light gradien…
Brownian motion of a circle swimmer in a harmonic trap
Soudeh Jahanshahi, Hartmut Löwen, Borge ten Hagen
We study the dynamics of a Brownian circle swimmer with a time-dependent self-propulsion velocity in an external temporally varying harmonic potential. For several situations, the…
