Autonomous helical propagation of active toroids with mechanical action
Self-assembly in nature is dynamic and exists in out-of-equilibrium state and thus systems have the ability to autonomously respond to environmental changes. Here the authors report that input of thermal energy can trigger fixed, artificial toroids to spontaneously nucleate helical growth.
