In this article we review the development, current status and future prospects of nano- and
microscale motors propelled by locally generated fields and chemical gradients. These motors …

The recent discovery of fuel-free propulsion of nanomotors using acoustic energy has provided
a new avenue for using nanomotors in biocompatible media. Crucial to the application of …

The ultrasonic propulsion of rod‐shaped nanomotors inside living HeLa cells is demonstrated.
These nanomotors (gold rods about 300 nm in diameter and about 3 μm long) attach …

Bimetallic nanorods are propelled without chemical fuels in megahertz (MHz) acoustic fields,
and exhibit similar behaviors to single-metal rods, including autonomous axial propulsion …

Conspectus The assembly of complex structures from simpler, individual units is a hallmark
of biology. Examples include the pairing of DNA strands, the assembly of protein chains into …

The propulsion of micro- and nanoparticles using ultrasound is an attractive strategy for the
remote manipulation of colloidal matter using biocompatible energy inputs. However, the …

Segmented gold–ruthenium nanorods (300 ± 30 nm in diameter and 2.0 ± 0.2 μm in length)
with thin Ni segments at one end assemble into few-particle, geometrically regular dimers, …

We measure the microvortical flows around gold nanorods propelled by ultrasound in water
using polystyrene nanoparticles as optical tracers. We infer the rotational frequencies of …

A phosphorus‐containing Schiff base was prepared from bis{3‐[2‐(4‐amino‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenylpyrazol‐3‐ylideneamino)ethyl]indol‐1‐ylmethyl}phosphinic
acid and …

The new Schiff base (L) “4‐[(2,4‐dimethoxy‐benzylidene)‐amino]‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐1,2‐dihydro‐pyrazol‐3‐one”
was synthesized from 2,4‐dimethoxy‐benzaldehyde and 4‐…
