Deskripsi

Changing the propulsion of simple artificial colloidal microswimmers usually proceeds by globally tuning the strength of the driving mechanism. Alvarez et al. implement an independent reconfiguration scheme, bringing small active particles one step closer to adaptive, autonomous behaviour.
