Moran and Wheat publish in PRE

Jeff Moran and Philip Wheat publish paper on electrokinetic locomotion in Physical Review E. Bimetallic rod-shaped nanomotors swim autonomously in hydrogen peroxide solutions. Here we present a scaling analysis, computational simulations, and experimental data that show that the nanomotor locomotion is driven by fluid slip around the nanomotor surface due to electrical body forces. The… Read more »
