 The European Physical Journal E (EPJE) has chosen its cover figure of the December 2021 issue from our study on self-propelling Janus particles.17 December 2021The paper presents an analytical study of self-propelling Janus particles to predict the temperature and velocity fields. The particles are powered by light irradiation of a defocused laser beam. Practical analytical approximations are given with good agreement with experiments.
