Imagine a sphere falling through a fluid, what will be the connection between the force acting on the sphere and its velocity? 

 

For a regular sphere the result is the known Stokes' law. We found the leading order correction in the case of a particle with some heat distribution on it. We show that in the case of a Janus sphere there will be coupling between translation and rotation.
