Abstract

Abstract : On page 2325, Ajay Vikram Singh and Metin Sitti propose a facile surface patterning technique and a specific, strong biotin–streptavidin bonding of bacteria on patterned surfaces to fabricate Janus particles that are propelled by the attached bacteria. Such bacteria‐driven Janus microswimmers could be used for future medicine in targeted drug delivery and environmental remediation.
