Journal Article
Artificial chemotaxis in micro/nanomotors
2026
Overview
Chemotaxis is the directional motion of objects in response to chemical gradients, a process that drives navigation in micro/nanomotors, enabling a bio-inspired transition toward autonomous direction control. However, current studies lack consistent mechanistic justification, definition, and standardized experimental validation. This review summarizes key physical principles governing active chemotaxis, surveys experimental strategies for generating chemical gradients and quantifying responses, and examines how individual chemotactic mechanisms and long-range, anisotropic chemical interactions give rise to emergent collective behaviors, while outlining prospective applications. Together, these efforts establish a principled engineering framework for advancing chemotaxis as a robust functional navigation modality in synthetic micro/nanomotors.
This Review Article examines artificial chemotaxis in micro/nanomotors, detailing mechanisms, experimental strategies, and collective behaviors. It highlights the need for standardized validation and explores applications in biomedical and industrial fields, emphasizing the challenges and potential of synthetic chemotaxis.
