Artificial systems that mimic such processes can provide a well-controlled setting to explore the principles involved and also synthesize useful micromachines. Our experiments show that immotile, but active, components self-assemble into two types of structure that exhibit the fundamental forms of motility: translation and rotation. Specifically, micron-scale metallic rods are designed to induce extensile surface flows in the presence of a chemical fuel; these rods interact with each other and pair up to form either a swimmer or a rotor. Such pairs can transition reversibly between these two configurations, leading to kinetics reminiscent of bacterial run-and-tumble motion."}],"oa_version":"Preprint","pmid":1,"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1509.06330","open_access":"1"}],"scopus_import":"1","intvolume":" 12","month":"05","publication_status":"published","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1744-683X"],"eissn":["1744-6848"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"volume":12,"issue":"20"}]
