T. Si, Q. He, and co‐workers demonstrate the fuel‐free, highly efficient propulsion of gold nanoshell‐functionalized polymeric multilayer rockets under NIR illumination. On page 577, the NIR‐driven rockets, fabricated by nanoporous template‐assisted polyelectrolyte layer‐by‐layer assembly, can move at a speed of 160 μm s−1 owing to the self‐thermophoretic forces generated by the photothermal effect...
A gold nanoshell‐functionalized polymer multilayer nanorocket performs self‐propulsion upon the irradiation with NIR light in the absence of chemical fuel. Theoretical simulations reveal that the NIR light‐triggered self‐thermophoresis drives the propulsion of the nanorocket. The nanorocket also displays efficient NIR light‐triggered propulsion in biofluids and thus holds considerable promise for...
