Shape-directed rotation of homogeneous micromotors via catalytic self-electrophoresis

Self-propelled motors operating at the micro- or nanoscale can be powered by catalytic reactions and show appealing potential in robotic applications. Brooks et al. describe how the motions of platinum spinners in hydrogen peroxide solutions can be rationally designed by controlling particle shape.
