Vapor-Driven Propulsion of Catalytic Micromotors
Chemically-powered micromotors offer exciting opportunities in diverse fields, including therapeutic delivery, environmental remediation, and nanoscale manufacturing. However, these nanovehicles require direct addition of high concentration of chemical fuel to the motor solution for their propulsion. We report the efficient vapor-powered propulsion of catalytic micromotors without direct additi...
متن کاملLight controlled 3D micromotors powered by bacteria
Self-propelled bacteria can be integrated into synthetic micromachines and act as biological propellers. So far, proposed designs suffer from low reproducibility, large noise levels or lack of tunability. Here we demonstrate that fast, reliable and tunable bio-hybrid micromotors can be obtained by the self-assembly of synthetic structures with genetically engineered biological propellers. The s...
متن کاملHydrodynamics and propulsion mechanism of self-propelled catalytic micromotors: model and experiment.
The hydrodynamic behavior and propulsion mechanism of self-propelled micromotors are studied theoretically and experimentally. A hydrodynamic model to describe bubble growth and detachment is proposed to investigate the mechanism of a self-propelled conical tubular catalytic micromotor considering bubble geometric asymmetry and buoyancy force. The growth force caused by the growth of the bubble...
متن کاملIonic imbalance induced self-propulsion of liquid metals
Components with self-propelling abilities are important building blocks of small autonomous systems and the characteristics of liquid metals are capable of fulfilling self-propulsion criteria. To date, there has been no exploration regarding the effect of electrolyte ionic content surrounding a liquid metal for symmetry breaking that generates motion. Here we show the controlled actuation of li...
متن کاملRemotely Powered Propulsion of Helical Nanobelts
Reynolds number fluids would have a big technological impact in many fields. Few known mechanisms are able to propel such devices. Here we demonstrate that helical nanobelts can swim in liquid when actuated by an electric field generated by electro-osmotic force. Moreover, we show these devices achieve speeds at or slightly above those demonstrated by natural bacteria. The helical nanobelts wer...
