| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to establish the theory of non-equilibrium dynamics such as autonomous swimming and active transport exhibited by micromachines in soft materials based on soft matter physics and non-equilibrium physics. As one of the research results, we investigated the swimming behavior of micromachines in polymer gels and clarified the effect of non-uniform structure of gels on their movements. We also focused on the non-equilibrium internal degrees of freedom of proteins and enzymes, and showed that thermally driven micromachines can acquire directional motion only by thermal motion.
