Symmetry Breaking Metamaterial Sleeve Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Metamaterial sleeves are designed to impart to a soft inflatable structure, nonlinear characteristics within the pressure–volume domain. By tuning the unit cells of the metamaterial sleeve, symmetry breaking is achieved during the inflation–deflation cycle.

Efficiency optimization and symmetry-breaking in a model of ciliary locomotion

open access: yes, 2010
A variety of swimming microorganisms, called ciliates, exploit the bending of a large number of small and densely-packed organelles, termed cilia, in order to propel themselves in a viscous fluid.

Screw‐Based Pill for Intelligent Robotic Extraction of Viscous Fluids in Medical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Screw‐based pill for intelligent robotic extraction (S‐PIRE) is a magnetically actuated smart capsule with a motorized screw, 3‐axis sensor, and Bluetooth control for site‐specific and minimally invasive remote sampling of viscous fluids, overcoming passive diffusion limitations.

Skin‐Like Airflow Odometry for Micro Aerial Vehicles Based on Distributed Thermal Anemometers

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A novel bioinspired skin‐like airflow odometry system for micro aerial vehicles employs distributed thermal anemometers to enable motion estimation in GNSS‐denied environments. Computational fluid dynamics simulation validates sensor deployment feasibility, while a transformer‐enhanced gated recurrent unit network extracts high‐precision airflow ...

The C-terminus of CFAP410 forms a tetrameric helical bundle that is essential for its localization to the basal body

open access: yesOpen Biology
Cilia are antenna-like organelles protruding from the surface of many cell types in the human body. Defects in ciliary structure or function often lead to diseases that are collectively called ciliopathies.

Microflow Switching using Artificial Cilia for On‐Demand Particle Manipulation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A magnetically actuated artificial cilia platform is developed for reversible microflow switching and particle manipulation. By modulating the beating frequencies via external magnetic fields, the system enables shear‐driven particle trapping, directional release, and in situ microfluidic mixing.

Ciliary propulsion of objects in tubes: wall drag on swimming Tetrahymena (Ciliata) in the presence of mucin and other long-chain polymers [PDF]

open access: yes, 1976
The lubrication effect of three long-chain polymers - mucin, methylcellulose and Ficoll - on ciliary propulsion in tubes is measured by plotting the relative velocities of swimming cilitates as a function of the tube bore diameter.
