[HTML][HTML] Emergent behavior in active colloids
Active colloids are microscopic particles, which self-propel through viscous fluids by
converting energy extracted from their environment into directed motion. We first explain …

Active Brownian particles: From individual to collective stochastic dynamics
We review theoretical models of individual motility as well as collective dynamics and
pattern formation of active particles. We focus on simple models of active dynamics with a …

Fantastic voyage: designing self‐powered nanorobots
S Sengupta, ME Ibele, A Sen - … Chemie International Edition, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The use of swarms of nanobots to perform seemingly miraculous tasks is a common trope in
the annals of science fiction. 1 Although several of these remarkable feats are still very much …
