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…
Measurement of second-order response without perturbation
Laurent Helden, Urna Basu, Matthias Krüger +1
We study the second order response functions of a colloidal particle being subjected to an anharmonic potential. Contrary to typical response measurements which require an external…
External control strategies for self-propelled particles: optimizing navigational efficiency in the presence of limited resources
Daniel F B Haeufle, Tobias Bäuerle, Jakob Steiner +3
We experimentally and numerically study the dependence of different navigation strategies regarding the effectivity of an active particle to reach a predefined target area. As the…
Dynamics of self-propelled Janus particles in viscoelastic fluids
Juan Ruben Gomez-Solano, Alex Blokhuis, Clemens Bechinger
We experimentally investigate active motion of spherical Janus colloidal particles in a viscoelastic fluid. Self-propulsion is achieved by a local concentration gradient of a criti…
Active Particles in Complex and Crowded Environments
Clemens Bechinger, Roberto Di Leonardo, Hartmut Löwen +3
Differently from passive Brownian particles, active particles, also known as self-propelled Brownian particles or microswimmers and nanoswimmers, are capable of taking up energy fr…
