Diffusing wave paradox of phototactic particles in traveling light pulses

Diffusing wave paradox of phototactic particles in traveling light pulses

The amoebae Dictyostelium have previously been observed to migrate counter to the direction of a traveling chemical wave. Here the authors demonstrate that light-activated phototactic synthetic particles move counter to the pulse direction in a way which is reminiscent of the amoebae’s behavior.
