title: Directed Autonomic Flow: Functional Motility Fluidics.
abstract: Unidirectional coherent motion of a self-moving droplet is achieved and combined in a functional motility fluidic chip for chemical reactions via a novel and straightforward approach. The droplet shows both increased movement speeds and displacement distances without any input of energy. Nanoparticle synthesis is performed using the autonomous movement in a fluidic chip that induces transport, mixing, and collection.
