We report on the study of indirect excitons in moving lattices-conveyers created by a set of ac voltages applied to the electrodes on the sample surface. The wavelength of this moving lattice is set by the electrode periodicity, the amplitude is controlled by the applied voltage, and the velocity is controlled by the ac frequency. We found the dynamical localization-delocalization transition for excitons in the conveyers and determined its dependence on exciton density and conveyer amplitude and velocity.

A "self-oscillating" gel that swells and deswells periodically under constant conditions is developed as a novel biomimetic gel differing from conventional stimuli-responsive polymer gels. By utilizing the peristaltic motion of the self-oscillating gel, autonomous mass-transport systems can be realized. With the propagation of the chemical wave, the loaded gel cargo is autonomously transported by rotating on the surface.
