Micromotors with asymmetric shape that efficiently convert light into work by thermocapillary effects

The direct conversion of light into work allows the driving of micron-sized motors in a contactless, controllable and continuous way. Light-to-work conversion can involve either direct transfer of optical momentum or indirect opto-thermal effects. Both strategies have been implemented using differen...
