Interaction Engineering Enables Reconfigurable Flocking in Chemical Micromotors.

A flock of chemical micromotors is potentially useful for drug delivery and environmental sensing, but realizing this potential is often hindered by uncontrolled clustering due to phoresis/osmosis. Here, we decouple the propulsion and head-to-head repulsion in chemically powered micromotors, enabling highly ordered flo...
