Panel (a) illustrates positions of the “arms” of the bug when they are retracted (t = T), approaching (t = T+2 s), touching (t = T+3 s) and again retracted (t = T+9 s) from the right electrode. Here T~2500 s. The movie showing the motion of the selfassembled wiggling structure is contained in Supplementary Information online. Panel (b) demonstrates the time dependence of the normalized power dissipated by the bug. Inset: a segment of the time dependence of the normalized power, corresponding to the phase when the bug is fully developed and exhibits the arm motion. At t~4500 s the stable phase begins.
