论文摘要
玻璃纤维是被困在两个阶段的界面上的活性细丝，能够利用界面上的能量（和物质）通量，以产生滚动的自我推测。我们讨论了几个桌面示例，并开发了理解其复杂动态的物理框架。尽管在研究的示例中有一些特定的特征，但我们得出结论，玻璃纤维的现象在不同材料，通量类型和时间表上具有高通用和鲁棒性。玻璃纤维运动应该从宏观领域到微观量表发挥作用，并且正如最近假设的那样，可能是一种逃避先前注意力的生物学自我刺激的手段。
Fiberboids are active filaments trapped at the interface of two phases, able of harnessing energy (and matter) fluxes across the interface in order to produce a rolling-like self-propulsion. We discuss several table-top examples and develop the physical framework for understanding their complex dynamics. In spite of some specific features in the examples studied we conclude that the phenomenon of fiberboids is highly generic and robust across different materials, types of fluxes and timescales. Fiberboid motility should play a role from the macroscopic realm down to the micro scale and, as recently hypothesized, possibly as a means of biological self-propulsion that has escaped previous attention.
