Sedimentation and levitation of catalytic active colloids
Gravitational effects in colloidal suspensions can be easily turned off by matching the density of the solid microparticles with the one of the surrounding fluid. By studying the motion of catalytic microswimmers with tunable buoyant weight, we show that this strategy cannot be adopted for active co...
