Can the self-propulsion of anisotropic microswimmers be described by using forces and torques?
Borge ten Hagen, Raphael Wittkowski, Daisuke Takagi +3
The self-propulsion of artificial and biological microswimmers (i.e., active colloidal particles) has often been modelled by using a force and a torque entering into the overdamped…
Gravitaxis of asymmetric self-propelled colloidal particles
Borge ten Hagen, Felix Kümmel, Raphael Wittkowski +3
Many motile microorganisms adjust their swimming motion relative to the gravitational field and thus counteract sedimentation to the ground. This gravitactic behavior is often the…
Reply to Comment on "Circular Motion of Asymmetric Self-Propelling Particles"
Felix Kümmel, Borge ten Hagen, Raphael Wittkowski +6
In a Comment [Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 029801 (2014)] on our Letter on self-propelled asymmetric particles [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 198302 (2013); arXiv:1302.5787], Felderhof claims tha…
Transport powered by bacterial turbulence
Andreas Kaiser, Anton Peshkov, Andrey Sokolov +3
We demonstrate that collective turbulent-like motion in a bacterial bath can power and steer directed transport of mesoscopic carriers through the suspension. In our experiments an…
