Abstract

Rodlike liquid metal gallium-based colloidal motors with broad light absorbance and photoluminance were prepared by a simple sonication crushing method. These colloidal motors could autonomously move at a speed of ca. 35 body lengths per second in the presence of an acoustic field, and could also actively seek and be internalized by cancer cells, which could be marked in real time through the photoluminance effect. Such liquid metal colloidal motors have promising applications in biomedical fields. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Qiang He et al.
