Symmetry Breaking Metamaterial Sleeve Actuators
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.

Microflow Switching using Artificial Cilia for On‐Demand Particle Manipulation
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]
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.
