Active motion of synthetic nanomotors in filament networks

The collective behavior of chemically powered nanomotors in complex filament networks is investigated. The synthetic motors are small oligomers and use self-diffusiophoresis for their active motion. Much like biological molecular machines, these motors attach to the filaments, which highly suppress...
