Propulsion and energetics of a minimal magnetic microswimmer
Carles Calero, José García-Torres, Antonio Ortiz-Ambriz +3
In this manuscript we describe the realization of a minimal hybrid microswimmer, composed of a ferromagnetic nanorod and a paramagnetic microsphere. The unbounded pair is propelled…
Collective Transport of Magnetic Microparticles at a Fluid Interface through Dynamic Self-Assembled Lattices
Fernando Martínez-Pedrero, Francisco Ortega, Ramón G. Rubio +1
The transport of motile entities across modulated energy landscapes plays an important role in a range of phenomena in biology, colloidal science and solid-state physics. Here, an…
Self-thermophoresis at the nanoscale using light induced solvation dynamics
Carles Calero, Edwin L. Sibert, Rossend Rey
Downsizing microswimmers to the nanoscale, and using light as an externally controlled fuel, are two important goals within the field of active matter. Here we demonstrate using al…
