Magnetically Actuated Colloidal Microswimmers

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2008
To achieve permanent propulsion of micro-objects in confined fluids is an elusive but challenging goal that will foster future development of microfluidics and biotechnology. Recent attempts based on a wide variety of strategies are still far from being able to design simple, versatile, and fully controllable swimming engines on the microscale. Here we

Optimal actuation of flagellar magnetic microswimmers [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2020
We present an automated procedure for the design of optimal actuation for flagellar magnetic microswimmers based on numerical optimization. Using this method, a new magnetic actuation method is provided which allows these devices to swim significantly faster compared to the usual sinusoidal actuation. This leads to a novel swimming strategy which makes

Magnetically Actuated Tunable Soft Electronics [PDF]

ACS Omega, 2019
Variable electronics are vital in tunable filters, transmitters, and receivers, among other applications. In addition, the ability to remotely tune soft capacitors, resistors, and inductors is important for applications in which the device is not accessible.

Magnetically Actuated Liquid Crystals

Nano Letters, 2014
Ferrimagnetic inorganic nanorods have been used as building blocks to construct liquid crystals with optical properties that can be instantly and reversibly controlled by manipulating the nanorod orientation using considerably weak external magnetic fields (1 mT).

Ironless magnetically levitated planar actuator [PDF]

Journal of Applied Physics, 2008
This paper describes a magnetically levitated planar actuator with moving magnets. This ironless actuator has a stationary coil array above which a translator with a permanent-magnet array is levitated and propelled in the xy plane. During the movements in the xy plane, the set of active coils is switched, as a result of which the stroke in the xy ...

Magnetic Actuation Methods in Bio/Soft Robotics

Advanced Functional Materials, 2020
In recent years, magnetism has gained an enormous amount of interest among researchers for actuating different sizes and types of bio/soft robots, which can be via an electromagnetic‐coil system, or a system of moving permanent magnets.

Magnetic actuation of hair cells [PDF]

Applied Physics Letters, 2011
The bullfrog sacculus contains mechanically sensitive hair cells whose stereociliary bundles oscillate spontaneously when decoupled from the overlying membrane. Steady-state offsets on the resting position of a hair bundle can suppress or modulate this native motility.
