Omnidirectional transport and navigation of Janus particles through a nematic liquid crystal film
We create controllable active particles in the form of metal-dielectric Janus colloids which acquire motility through a nematic liquid crystal film by transducing the energy of an imposed perpendicular AC electric field. We achieve complete command over trajectories by varying the field amplitude an...
