Recent Advances in Collective Behaviors of Micro/Nanomotor Swarms
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 9, 12 February 2026.This review describes the driving forces behind collective motion, explores the self‐organization of micro/nano swarms across zero‐dimensional (0D), one‐dimensional (1D), two‐dimensional (2D), and three‐dimensional (3D) spaces, and highlights their potential in drug delivery, environmental monitoring, and smart devices.

Phylogenetic significance of composition and crystal morphology of magnetosome minerals
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) biomineralize magnetosomes, nano-scale crystals of magnetite or greigite in membrane enclosures, that comprise a permanent magnetic dipole in each cell.

Magnetotaxis and magnetic particles in bacteria
Hyperfine Interactions, 1994 Magnetotactic bacteria contain magnetic particles that constitute a permanent magnetic dipole and cause each cell to orient and migrate along geomagnetic field lines. Recent results relevant to the biomineralization process and to the function of magnetotaxis are discussed.

Influence of magnetic fields on magneto-aerotaxis.
PLoS ONE, 2014 The response of cells to changes in their physico-chemical micro-environment is essential to their survival. For example, bacterial magnetotaxis uses the Earth's magnetic field together with chemical sensing to help microorganisms move towards favoured ...

Small, Volume 21, Issue 50, December 17, 2025.The dynamics of Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense under rotating magnetic fields are explored through the analysis of thousands of trajectories. The study reveals distinct navigation modes and transitions influenced by field strength and frequency. Directionality, alignment, and swimming behavior are examined to uncover how these microorganisms respond ...

eLife, 2018 Many animals can orient using the earth’s magnetic field. In a recent study, we performed three distinct behavioral assays providing evidence that the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans orients to earth-strength magnetic fields (Vidal-Gadea et al., 2015). A
