Fourier Plane Tomographic Spectroscopy Reveals Orientation-Dependent Multipolar Plasmon Modes in Micrometer-Scale Janus Particles
Felix H. Patzschke, Frank Cichos
Plasmonic Janus particles, comprising dielectric cores with thin metallic caps, exhibit complex optical properties due to their asymmetric structure. Despite applications in active…
Unleashing Urease Protein Dynamics with Metamaterial Optical Tweezers
Domna G. Kotsifaki, Viet Giang Truong, Mirco Dindo +3
Investigating the dynamics of single biomolecules is essential for unlocking new frontiers in biophysics and medicine. Here, we present a transformative approach using metamaterial…
Delayed Active Swimmer in a Velocity Landscape
Viktor Holubec, Alexander Fischer, Giovanni Volpe +1
Self-propelled active particles exhibit delayed responses to environmental changes, modulating their propulsion speed through intrinsic sensing and feedback mechanisms. This adapti…
Thermofluidic non-equilibrium assembly of reconfigurable functional structures
Desmond J. Quinn, Diptabrata Paul, Frank Cichos
Non-equilibrium assembly, driven by fluxes controllable by continuous external energy inputs, enables dynamic and reconfigurable structures. Such controlled 3D assembly is desired…
Regulated polarization of active particles in local osmotic flow fields
Lisa Rohde, Desmond J. Quinn, Diptabrata Paul +1
Regulation to a well-defined target state is a fundamental requirement for achieving reliable functionality in living systems and maintaining specific non-equilibrium states. The c…
The 2024 Motile Active Matter Roadmap
Gerhard Gompper, Howard A. Stone, Christina Kurzthaler +29
Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental aspects of many living and engineering systems. Here, the scale of biological agents covers a wide range, from nanomotors, cytoskelet…
