… channels, the transient state becomes unstable to streamwise perturbations due to the
chemotactic instability, leading to the formation of particle aggregates along the channel… geometric …

It is well-known that micro- and nanoparticles can move by phoretic effects in response to
externally imposed gradients of scalar quantities such as chemical concentration or electric …

… To test the role of the pillar geometry, we also measure the pumping performance of a grid of
… Thus, the active channels we describe should be scalable to channel heights of about 300 …
