Light and magnetic actuation can be combined to fine-tune the swimming direction of biohybrid magnetic microrobots based on microalgae. Different biohybrids can be differentiated by inducing changes...

Nature Food - Microrobotics is an emerging innovation with promising applications in food safety, quality control and processing. This Review highlights recent advances in microrobotic design,...

Active particles consume energy from their environment and locally dissipate it to power their motion, assembly, or reconfiguration. While active particle research has been ongoing since the early...

MicroSphere Autolithography (µSAL) enables scalable fabrication of patchy particles with customizable surface motifs. Focusing light through dielectric microspheres creates well defined, tunable...

Active particles consume energy from their environment and locally dissipate it to power their motion, assembly, or reconfiguration. While active particle research has been ongoing since the early...

A mitochondrial-targeted nanomotor integrates photodynamic therapy, mild photothermal therapy, and enzyme dynamic therapy into a self-amplifying cascade through H2S-driven metabolic reprogramming.

Peptides immobilized via nickel coordination can stabilize the framework structure. Following coating with red blood cell membranes, these constructs are capable of continuously sequestering endoto...

The precise manipulation of a large number of colloidal particles in lateral (xy) dimensions is important for various applications. We introduce a simple way of concentrating, dispersing, moving, and...

We study the emerging self-organization in active ring suspensions, focusing on how the rings’ orientational order and geometric entanglement vary with density and spatial confinement. To quantify...

Abstract. A well-established phenomenon in active matter is motility-induced phase separation. However, biological systems exhibit a much broader range of

Nature Communications - Traveling waves in living active matter, such as bacterial liquid crystals, are challenging to control due to their chaotic nonequilibrium dynamics. Here, authors...

Nature Communications - Real-time recognition of microrobot state remains challenging due to their small size and imaging limitations. The authors integrate flexible RF antennas into...

Bacterial swarming is a phenomenon characterized by the rapid migration of microorganisms on a surface powered by flagella. While extensive studies have explored various factors influencing swarming...
