This image illustrates pumping in two directions at once with an enzyme patch. A patch of enzymes immobilized on a surface acts as a fluid pump. The fluid, and the small particles (green spheres) carried by the fluid, can simultaneously be pumped away from the patch (blue) in some parts of the chamber and toward the patch (red) in other locations. This behavior changes over time and is due to the changes in fluid density that the reaction produces. Credit: University of Pittsburgh
