Huygens' clocks at the microscale
Yaocheng Li, Ivan Palaia, Jinzi Mac Huang +2
Weakly coupled oscillators adjust their dynamics to work in unison: they synchronize. This ubiquitous phenomenon is observed for oscillating pendulum, electronic devices, as well a…
Rotation Control, Interlocking and Self-positioning of Active Cogwheels
Q. Martinet, A. Aubret, J. Palacci
Gears and cogwheels restrain degrees of freedom and channel power into a specified motion. They are fundamental components of macroscopic machines. Interlocking microrotors similar…
Metamachines of Pluripotent Colloids
A. Aubret, Q. Martinet, J. Palacci
Machines enabled the Industrial Revolution and are central to modern technological progress: A machine's parts transmit forces, motion, and energy to one another in a predetermined…
Diffusiophoretic design of self-spinning microgears from colloidal microswimmers
Antoine Aubret, Jérémie Palacci
Design strategies to assemble dissipative building blocks are essential to create novel and smart materials and machines. We recently demonstrated the hierarchical self-assembly of…
Activity-controlled Annealing of Colloidal Monolayers
Sophie Ramananarivo, Etienne Ducrot, Jeremie Palacci
Molecular motors are essential to the living, they generate additional fluctuations that boost transport and assist assembly. Self-propelled colloids, that consume energy to move,…
Targeted Assembly and Synchronization of Self-Spinning Microgears
Antoine Aubret, Mena Youssef, Stefano Sacanna +1
Self-assembly is the autonomous organization of components into patterns or structures: an essential ingredient of biology and a desired route to complex organization. At equilibri…
