Artificial systems that mimic such processes can provide a well-controlled setting to explore the principles involved and also synthesize useful micromachines. Our experiments show that immotile, but active, components self-assemble into two types of structure that exhibit the fundamental forms of motility: translation and rotation. Specifically, micron-scale metallic rods are designed to induce extensile surface flows in the presence of a chemical fuel; these rods interact with each other and pair up to form either a swimmer or a rotor. Such pairs can transition reversibly between these two configurations, leading to kinetics reminiscent of bacterial run-and-tumble motion."}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["1744-683X"],"eissn":["1744-6848"]},"title":"Dynamic self-assembly of microscale rotors and swimmers","date_updated":"2023-02-23T13:47:38Z","month":"05","article_processing_charge":"No","scopus_import":"1","date_created":"2021-02-01T13:44:00Z","citation":{"mla":"Davies Wykes, Megan S., et al. “Dynamic Self-Assembly of Microscale Rotors and Swimmers.” <i>Soft Matter</i>, vol. 12, no. 20, Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016, pp. 4584–89, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1039/c5sm03127c\">10.1039/c5sm03127c</a>.","ieee":"M.
