Summary: The study investigates the dynamics of chemically powered sphere dimers at the micro- and nano-scales in a quasi-two-dimensional geometry. It is found that the asymmetric concentration gradients generated by a chemical reaction on the catalytic surface lead to self-propulsion of the dimers, forming anti-parallel aligned doublets that exhibit the same rotation direction and lose translational motion. The chirality of the dimers plays a crucial role in the formation of these doublets, displaying new collective dynamics and structures when both translational and rotational self-propulsion occur simultaneously.

Summary: Catalytic Janus swimmers exhibit diffusiophoretic motion by generating gradients of concentrations and electric potential spontaneously. This study considers the experimentally relevant scenario of particles releasing both types of ions and derives a simple expression for particle velocity in the limit of a thin electrostatic diffuse layer. The approximate expression remains highly accurate even in the presence of large ion fluxes and surface potentials, and it offers explanations for several intriguing phenomena, such as the reversal of particle motion in response to variations in the salt concentration or the self-diffusiophoresis of uncharged particles.

Summary: We studied the predatory-prey dynamics of self-propelled clusters of Janus micromotors, which generates an oxygen bubbles cloud by decomposing H2O2 and enhances its mobility to wander around and devour other clusters. The fast decomposition of H2O2 also induces a tubular low-concentration zone that bridges two far separated clusters, resulting in a diffusio-osmotic pressure that drives the clusters to meet. This predatory-prey phenomena mimic white blood cells chasing bacteria and swarming flocks in nature, shedding light on emergent collective intelligence in biology.

Summary: To overcome the limitations of cancer phototherapy, researchers designed Janus pyroelectric nanoparticles (NPs) that generate self-powered motion and built-in electric fields. These NPs enhance tumor cell internalization and produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) for pyroelectric dynamic therapy (PEDT), leading to significant induction of tumor cell apoptosis and suppression of tumor growth. The asymmetrical photothermal effect of the Janus NPs creates thermophoretic force to enhance tumor diffusion and cellular uptake, resulting in boosted cytotoxicity and intracellular ROS levels. The incorporation of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) further increases the photothermal effect and elevates cellular uptake rates, enhancing the antitumor efficacy.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
