Co-motion of catalytic tubes and host droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces
The ability to convert chemical energy into directed motion is a defining feature of living systems and a central goal in the design of synthetic active matter. Here, we report a self-propelling syste...
Our new paper describes a synthetic "cell" that moves over superhydrophobic surfaces. It consists of an H2O2 drop and a chemical garden tube that spins like a propeller or orbits around a large internal O2 bubble; bursting causes repeating cm-scale motion. @softmatter.rsc.org doi.org/10.1039/D5SM...

ππ§ͺ New paper out! @softmatter.rsc.org @rsc.org
We show that Janus lipid vesicles can self-propel under AC electric fields, exhibiting run-and-tumble dynamicsβjust like bacteria, but driven by membrane-phase behavior.
