In May 2024 we had a great workshop on chemotaxis in the MPI PKS in Dresden! The social impressions are in the picture below, and the scientific discussions are summarised in Angewandte Chemie lnkd.in/d6ymRhGK What a nice way to remember!
Congrats to Kelly for her beautiful Janus image in that was among the first 3 in the scientific image contest cfaed.tu-dresden.de/media-commun...
We congratulate David Nescholta for his successful Master defense and Jasmin Wetzlich for her Bachelor thesis! Well done both and we look forward to keep collaborating!

New from Juliane Simmchen (@jsimmchen.bsky.social) and colleagues: 'Halogen–copper redox chemistry as a driving force for spherical Janus microswimmers' #OpenAccess 🔓
Halogen–copper redox chemistry as a driving force for spherical Janus microswimmers
Most Janus particle microswimmers use catalytic reaction mechanisms, including hydrogen peroxide or hydrazine degradation, to generate gradients for self-propulsion. However, several alternative…

Programming Tactic Behaviors of Active Colloids via Surface Charge
Self-diffusiophoretic colloids move autonomously by creating chemical gradients. These self-generated gradients lead to fluid motion at the particle surface, also known as phoretic slip, which determi...

First work done mostly at Strathclyde: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr..., congrats Charlie!
Cryogenic milling of consumer plastics for high-throughput characterization of polydisperse, amorphous microplastics
Microplastics - defined as tiny polymer fragments less than 5 mm in size - pose a clear threat to a wide range of small organisms through ingestion, leading to starvation. In addition, there are many...

Great to see that our book is finally out in RSC Soft Matter Series on Active Colloids If you want to learn more about how active colloids move and can be designed, this is a great starting point. @wuspal.bsky.social @jsimmchen.bsky.social @WeiWang #softmatter #activematter 🧪⚛️💡
Active Colloids Moving by Critical Demixing
A unique type of self-propelled active colloid converts light into a temperature gradient across its body, locally demixing a solvent, and moves by self-ph
