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.","lang":"eng"}],"date_created":"2021-02-01T13:44:00Z","pmid":1,"author":[{"first_name":"Megan S.","full_name":"Davies Wykes, Megan S.","last_name":"Davies Wykes"},{"first_name":"Jérémie A","id":"8fb92548-2b22-11eb-b7c1-a3f0d08d7c7d","orcid":"0000-0002-7253-9465","full_name":"Palacci, Jérémie A","last_name":"Palacci"},{"first_name":"Takuji","last_name":"Adachi","full_name":"Adachi, Takuji"},{"first_name":"Leif","full_name":"Ristroph, Leif","last_name":"Ristroph"},{"full_name":"Zhong, Xiao","last_name":"Zhong","first_name":"Xiao"},{"full_name":"Ward, Michael D.","last_name":"Ward","first_name":"Michael D."},{"last_name":"Zhang","full_name":"Zhang, Jun","first_name":"Jun"},{"last_name":"Shelley","full_name":"Shelley, Michael J.","first_name":"Michael J."}],"intvolume":"        12","publisher":"Royal Society of Chemistry","external_id":{"arxiv":["1509.06330"],"pmid":["27121100"]},"article_processing_charge":"No","article_type":"original","doi":"10.1039/c5sm03127c","title":"Dynamic self-assembly of microscale rotors and swimmers","oa_version":"Preprint","status":"public","issue":"20","scopus_import":"1","year":"2016","volume":12,"citation":{"apa":"Davies Wykes, M.
