    • In a recent study by Sugawara (see ref 11, oil droplets containing a fatty acid anhydride and immersed in a solution of fatty acid micelles were shown to exhibit taxis toward regions of high pH. In this system, however, the convection flows were localized inside of the droplets, and the distances of tactic motion were on the order of 100 μm. We also note that the directionality of motion predicted by the model and observed in our experiments is opposite to the behavior of Sugawara's system see section 1 in the SI

    • We also performed experiments with multiple droplets placed into the maze either simultaneously or sequentially (at different time intervals, In all cases, the droplets found the optimal path, indicating that their trajectories were determined by the pH gradient and not, for instance, by interactions between droplets also see section 2 and videos 4 and 5 in the SI
