Active particles convert external energy into motility, displaying a variety of dynamical
features. Recent progress in the field has marked a shift in focus from understanding the …

Abstract Magnetic Janus particles (MJPs), fabricated by covering a non-magnetic spherical
particle with a hemispherical magnetic in-plane exchange-bias layer system cap, display an …

Magnetic nanorods driven by rotating fields in water can be rapidly steered along any
direction while generating strong and localized hydrodynamic flow fields. Here we show …

The effect of curvature and how it induces and enhances the transport of colloidal particles
driven through narrow channels represent an unexplored research avenue. Here we …

Colloidal Janus microparticles can be propelled by controlled chemical reactions on their
surfaces. Such microswimmers have been used as model systems for the behavior on the …

We use sensitive dynamic cantilever magnetometry to measure the magnetic hysteresis of
individual magnetic Janus particles. These particles consist of hemispherical caps of …

Hemispherical caps of in-plane exchange biased IrMn/CoFe layer systems have been
fabricated on top of regularly arranged spherical silica particles by magnetron sputtering …

In recent years there have been many astonishing advances in the realisation of artificial
microscopic prototypes, or microswimmers, that display propulsion in viscous fluids, ie, at …

“Active matter” 1 refers to any system with a large number of individual agents, each of which
is capable of self-propulsion. Examples of active matter are the movement of a crowd …

All systems exhibit the unique phenomenon of self-organization, whether in living or non-
living systems. The underlying mechanism of transitioning from a nonordered to an ordered …
