Tunable Persistent Random Walk in Swimming Droplets

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: The random motion of oil droplets in water is caused by the flow of surfactants at the interface, a finding that gives rise to a broadly tunable swimming system, akin to microorganisms, and allows us to study their self-organization.
