A variety of moving objects driven by chemical energy have been reported. In this
Minireview, we focus on self‐propelled objects driven by interfacial tension and explain …

Liquid droplets are very simple objects present in our everyday life. They are extremely
important for many natural phenomena as well as for a broad variety of industrial processes …

Pen-drawing is an intuitive, convenient, and creative fabrication method for delivering
emergent and adaptive design to real devices. To demonstrate the application of pen …

We describe a chemical robotic assistant equipped with a curiosity algorithm (CA) that can
efficiently explore the states a complex chemical system can exhibit. The CA-robot is …

The phenomena on the capillarity-driven migration of small objects are full of interest for
both scientific and engineering communities, and a critical review is thereby presented. The …

We review our recent results on a simple droplet system consisting of droplets of a mixture of
two liquids. Although the system is composed of simple chemicals, it is capable of exhibiting …

We consider a rotor made of two camphor disks glued below the ends of a plastic stripe. The
disks are floating on a water surface and the plastic stripe does not touch the surface. The …

Droplet systems remain the subject of a constant fascination in science and technology.
Here we focus on organic droplets floating on the surface of aqueous surfactant solutions …

In a two-dimensional axisymmetric system, the system symmetry allows rotational or
oscillatory motion as stable stationary motion for a symmetric self-propelled particle. In the …

We investigated the bifurcation structure on the self-propelled motion of a camphor rotor at a
water surface. The center of the camphor rotor was fixed by the axis, and it showed rotational …
