Hello, nanomotor enthusiasts!
This website is meant to aggregate recent news, papers and events for research activities related to nano- and micromotors, nano- and micromachines, active colloids, and synthetic nano- and microswimmers. New contents are being added regularly.
Follow @nanomotorupdate on Twitter for more information!
This website is managed by Prof. Wei Wang from Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen).
Nanomotor Mini Talks
This is a series of online research talks on the topic of nanomotors. Every week, we invite one or two first authors of recently published research articles to give a talk. Once in a while, a senior researcher is invited to share her/his thoughts and ideas on the development of nanomotors/active colloids.
These talks are broadcasted live on Zoom, and the recordings are uploaded on the youtube channel Nanomotor Mini Talks.
Feel free to spread the words, and let us know if you would like to hear about a particular paper or from a particular researcher!
Current Zoom Meeting Info:
Room/meeting ID: 878 9058 6758
Password: nanomotor
Talk time:
Every Thursday at 1 pm Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). If there are two talks, the second talk starts at ~1:30 pm GMT.
Make sure to apply your time zone to get the local time. For example, the time zone for Beijing, China is GMT+8, so the talk is given at 9 pm in China.
Schedule:
The following schedule is subject to change. Follow twitter @nanomotorupdate for the latest announcement.
