Abstract Self-reproducing molecules abound in nature where they support growth and motion of living systems. In artificial settings, chemical reactions can also show complex kinetics reproduction, however integrating self-reproducing into larger systems remains a challenge towards achieving higher order functionality. Here, we that lipids initiate, sustain accelerate the movement octanol droplets water. Reciprocally, chemotactic increases rate lipid reproduction substantially. Reciprocal...
Microscopic motility is a property that emerges from systems of interacting molecules. Unraveling the mechanisms underlying such motion requires coupling chemistry molecules with physical processes operate at larger length scales. Here, we show photoactive micelles composed molecular switches gate autonomous oil droplets in water. These switch large

We report the run-and-halt behavior of motile droplets immersed in an aqueous solution amphiphilic molecular switch. These oil move autonomously as switch solubilizes into water. Droplet movement stops response to UV light, and picks up again visible light. This is a consequence reversible trans- to- cis photo-conversion water, because trans photo-isomer stabilizes better than photo-isomer, therefore it also droplet more effectively. Notably, evolve positive photokinesis under illumination...
