Figure 1 Evolution of Active Particles: From Self-Assembly to Autonomous Propulsion Major evolutionary thrusts in colloidal science include (chronologically) (A) the assembly of simple spheres, (B) the assembly and manipulation of Janus and patchy spheres, and (C) the propulsion and reconfiguration of active particles of engineered shape and morphology.

Figure 2 EHD Effects Leading to Particle Propulsion
The mobilization of ions around a particle in response to an applied electric field induces liquid motion. (A) In the case of a sphere, these flow patterns are symmetrical around the particle, thus not generating any translational movement. Adapted with permission from Woehl et al.66 Copyright 2014 American Chemical Society. (B) When this symmetry is broken, as in the doublet, asymmetric flows are generated, thus contributing to EHD-based self-propulsion. The direction of propulsion of this particle is frequency-dependent, as shown by Ma et al.44 Chem 2017 3, DOI: ( /j.chempr ) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

Figure 3 ICEP for Particle Self-Propulsion
(A) Schematic of a Janus particle in a half cycle of an AC electric field. The electric double layer on the conductive (gold) side is more strongly polarized and thus drives a stronger electroosmotic slip than the dielectric side, resulting in ICEP motion in a direction of the dielectric side. (B) Optical micrographs of Janus particles in a planar 140 V/cm field with a frequency of 1 kHz. These particles propel away from their conductive (dark) side and toward their dielectric side.

Figure 4 Electroosmotic Flow for Diode Self-Propulsion
(A) Schematic of a diode particle propelling due to rectification of an applied AC electric field. The origin of the localized electroosmotic flow and the equivalent electrical circuit are shown. (B) Time-lapse photographs of a millimeter-sized diode floating on water and shuttling back and forth on demand by introducing a short-duration DC component into the applied AC electric signal.

Figure 5 Examples of Magnetically Powered Active Particles
(A) A paramagnetic doublet is shown to propel along one axis as a result of a magnetic field precessing about a perpendicular axis. Reprinted with permission from Tierno et al.51 Copyright 2008 American Chemical Society. (B) A nanomotor containing nickel propellers and a gold head connected by silver wires is shown to propel along its central axis. Reprinted with permission from Gao et al.52 Copyright 2010 American Chemical Society. (C) Helical microstructures draw energy from a weak rotating magnetic field to propel through liquids of low Reynolds numbers. Reprinted with permission from Tottori et al.53 Copyright 2013 American Chemical Society. (D) A hybrid nanomotor is shown to propel in different directions depending on the type of stimulation, i.e., from acoustic energy (left) or magnetic energy (right).

Figure 6 Examples of Acoustically Powered Active Particles
(A) Metallic nanorods propel, rotate, and assemble in response to stimulation from acoustic perturbations. Reprinted with permission from Wang et al.56 Copyright 2012 American Chemical Society. (B) A nanowire with a magnetic center and a surface modified with bioreceptors is propelled by forces from an acoustic traveling wave and is steered magnetically to capture and transport biological entities.

Figure 7 Examples of Multicomponent Reconfigurable Materials Made from Magnetic Micro- and Nanoparticles (A) Magnetic microparticles confined to a liquid-air interface are stimulated by a planar alternating magnetic field, which drives their assembly into out-of-equilibrium structures that can self-propel when connected to a large, symmetry-breaking bead.
