Living organisms employ chemical self-organization to build structures, and inspire new
strategies to design synthetic systems that spontaneously take a particular form, via a …

Droplets on a liquid substrate ('liquid lenses') play an important role in various branches of
engineering, including microfluidics, chemical engineering, environment protection, etc. In …

Out-of-equilibrium molecular systems hold great promise as dynamic, reconfigurable matter
that executes complex tasks autonomously. However, translating molecular scale dynamics …

For almost 200 y, the dominant approach to understand oil-on-water droplet shape and
stability has been the thermodynamic expectation of minimized energy, yet parallel literature …

Subsequent synthesis and detection using droplets as microreactors have shown promise in
the development of novel materials and drugs because microreactors enable small-scale …

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 …

We report herein experimental observations of the reciprocating motion of a self-propelled
droplet floating on the surface of an aqueous surfactant solution and a simple reaction …

We consider the motion of a self-propelled object of rectangular shape inside a circular
water chamber. The mathematical model of self-motion includes equations for the …

We consider a mathematical model for a two-particle system driven by the spatial gradient of
a concentration field of chemicals with conservative attractive interactions in one dimension …

Collective motions are the spontaneous emergence of the ordered movement in living
systems. Various constructive approaches have been attempted toward understanding the …
