چکیده
A self-propelled Janus colloid performs a persistent orbital motion around giant unilamellar vesicle, even when the vesicle size is comparable to particle size.

A Third Giant Planet Orbiting Hip 14810
We present new precision radial velocities and a three-planet Keplerian orbit fit for the V = 8.5, G5 V star HIP 14810. We began observing this star at Keck Observatory as part of the N2K Planet Search Project. Wright et al. (2007) announced the inner two planets to this system, and subsequent observations have revealed the outer planet planet and the proper orbital solution for the middle plan...
متن کاملEmergent 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 how artificial microswimmers move forward by generating near-surface flow fields via self-phoresis or the self-induced Marangoni effect. We then discuss generic features of the dynamics of single active colloids in bulk ...
متن کاملGiant vesicles in electric fields
This review is dedicated to electric field effects on giant unilamellar vesicles, a cell-size membrane system. We summarize various types of behavior observed when vesicles are subjected either to weak AC fields at various frequency, or to strong DC pulses. Different processes such as electrodeformation, -poration and -fusion of giant vesicles are considered. We describe some recent development...
متن کاملDriven motion of colloids in active microrheology
In active microrheology, a strong external force is applied to a colloidal probe immersed in a complex fluid, so that among other quantities the nonlinear force-velocity relation can be measured. It provides information on the local viscoelastic properties of the complex fluid or soft solid. Generally, in dense fluids, the probe’s friction coefficient decreases strongly with increasing force [1...
متن کاملGiant Vesicles Compressed by Actin Polymerization
Actin polymerization plays a critical role in generating propulsive force to drive many types of cell motility. The discovery of actin based motility of the bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes has lead to clearer understandings of the essential ingredients required for cell motility. The biophysical mechanisms by which these proteins generate forces is the subject of intense investigation...
