Microrobots for Antibiotic-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Skin Colony Eradication

Self-propelled nano- and micromachines have immense potential as autonomous seek-and-act devices in biomedical applications. In this study, we present microrobots constructed with inherently biocompatible materials and propulsion systems tailored to skin-related applications. Addressing the significant treatment challenge posed by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) skin infections, we demonstrate that photocatalytic titanium dioxide microrobots decorated with silver …

Bioinspired Spiky Micromotors Based on Sporopollenin Exine Capsules

The development of a micromotor with unique spiky morphology based on sporopollenin exine capsules (SECs) is reported here. A widely abundant natural material extracted from sunflower pollen grains, the SECs are physically robust, highly monodisperse microcapsules that are ornamented with spiky appendages, opening the door to exploring bubble generation on this unique biomaterial surface. Partial …

Influence of pH on the Motion of Catalytic Janus Particles and Tubular Bubble-Propelled Micromotors

Self-propelled miniaturized machines harness the chemical potential of their environment for movement. Locomotion of chemically powered micromotors have been hugely dependent on the surroundings. The use of pH to alter the mobility of micromotors is demonstrated in this work through the manipulation of hydrogen peroxide chemistry in different acidity/alkalinity. The sequential addition of sodium hydroxide …
