Nano and micro architectures for self-propelled motors
Self-propelled micromotors are emerging as important tools that help us understand the fundamentals of motion at the microscale and the nanoscale. Development of the motors for various biomedical and environmental applications is being pursued. Multiple fabrication methods can be used to construct the geometries of different sizes of motors. Here, we present an overview of appropriate methods o...
متن کاملSwimming upstream: self-propelled nanodimer motors in a flow†
The dynamics of chemically-powered self-propelled nanodimer motors in a fluid flow are investigated. The dimer motors are confined to move in a square channel within which a Poiseuille-like fluid flow exists. The flow direction is opposite to that of the nanomotor’s directed motion. Simulations of the dynamics are carried out using mesoscopic hybrid molecular dynamics/multiparticle collision dy...
متن کاملCollective dynamics of self-propelled sphere-dimer motors.
The collective dynamics of ensembles of chemically powered sphere dimer motors is investigated. Sphere dimers are self-propelled nanomotors built from linked catalytic and noncatalytic spheres. They consume fuel in the environment and utilize the resulting self-generated concentration gradients to produce directed motion along their internuclear axes. In collections of such motors, the individu...
متن کاملFrom one to many: dynamic assembly and collective behavior of self-propelled colloidal motors.
The assembly of complex structures from simpler, individual units is a hallmark of biology. Examples include the pairing of DNA strands, the assembly of protein chains into quaternary structures, the formation of tissues and organs from cells, and the self-organization of bacterial colonies, flocks of birds, and human beings in cities. While the individual behaviors of biomolecules, bacteria, b...
متن کاملProtein-assisted self-assembly of multifunctional nanoparticles.
A bioengineering method for self-assembly of multifunctional superstructures with in-advance programmable properties has been proposed. The method employs two unique proteins, barnase and barstar, to rapidly join the structural components together directly in water solutions. The properties of the superstructures can be designed on demand by linking different agents of various sizes and chemica...
