Chemically powered nano-and micromotors are microscopic devices that convert chemical
energy into motion. Interest in these motors has grown over the past 20 years because they …

Taxis orientation is common in microorganisms, and it provides feasible strategies to
operate active colloids as small‐scale robots. Collective taxes involve numerous units that …

Artificial microswimmers offer exciting opportunities for biomedical applications. The goal of
these synthetics is to swim like natural micro‐organisms through biological environments …

Biological microswimmers navigate upstream of an external flow with trajectories ranging
from linear to spiralling and oscillatory. Such a rheotactic response primarily stems from the …

Fluid flow is ubiquitous in many environments that form habitats for microorganisms.
Therefore, it is not surprising that both biological and artificial microswimmers show …

A hybrid micromotor is an active colloid powered by more than one power source, often
exhibiting expanded functionality and controllability than those of a singular energy source …

Synthetic active colloids that harvest energy stored in the environment and swim
autonomously are a popular model system for active matter. This emerging field of research …

As a novel mobile nanodevice, micro‐nano motors (MNMs) can convert the energy of the
surrounding environment into mechanical motion. With this unique ability, they promise …

In this review, we provide a theoretical introduction to Jeffery's equations for the orientation
dynamics of an axisymmetric object in a flow at low Reynolds number, and review recent …

The recent invention of nanoswimmers—synthetic, powered objects with characteristic
lengths in the range of 10–500 nm—has sparked widespread interest among scientists and …
