Autonomous motion of small particles through surface interaction gradients
A theoretical design by Balazs et al (ACS Nano, 2008), in which two particles are propelled forward by changing their interaction with a compliant surface by releasing nanoparticles, was attempted to be implemented. Initial studies showed that the design needed to be altered slightly to overcome the...
