Abstract
In article 1706660, Dhruv P. Singh, William E. Uspal, and co-workers demonstrate that self-propelled Janus particles move near a surface or against gravity in response to light. The sedimented colloids swim along the surface when illuminated with low intensity light. When the light intensity is increased above a threshold value, the active colloids lift off, moving against gravity and away from the light source. The same behavior is found in some swimming microorganisms.
