Hydrodynamics of metachronal paddling: effects of varying Reynolds number and phase lag [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Negatively buoyant freely swimming crustaceans such as krill must generate downward momentum in order to maintain their position in the water column. These animals use a drag-based propulsion strategy, where pairs of closely spaced swimming limbs are ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2706-2717, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Lobate ctenophores are often numerically dominant members of oceanic epipelagic and midwater ecosystems. Despite this, little is known about their trophic ecology. Multiple, co‐occurring species are often found in these ecosystems and appear to feed similarly via feeding currents that entrain prey.

Metachronal waves in magnetic micro-robotic paddles for artificial cilia [PDF]
Communications Materials, 2021 AbstractBiological cilia generate fluid movement within viscosity-dominated environments using beating motions that break time-reversal symmetry. This creates a metachronal wave, which enhances flow efficiency. Artificially mimicking this behaviour could improve microfluidic point-of-care devices, since viscosity-dominated fluid dynamics impede fluid ...

A Synthetic Minimal Beating Axoneme
Small, Volume 18, Issue 32, August 11, 2022., 2022 Cilia and flagella are cellular appendages that beat rhythmically to transport fluids and propel living organisms. The authors report the reconstitution of a synthetic cilium from the bottom up using biological building blocks, namely microtubules and axonemal dynein.

Metachronal wave formation in 3D cilia arrays for mucus transport
, 2017 Propulsion by beating cilia is an universal phenomenon developed by nature as a way to propel fluids. For the particular case of the human body, cilia are responsible for the left-right asymmetry of the heart in the early embryonic development, for the transport of nutrients in the brain, and for the transport of bronchial mucus in the mucociliary ...

Recent Progress in Active Mechanical Metamaterials and Construction Principles
Advanced Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, January 5, 2022., 2022 Active mechanical metamaterials (AMMs) are newly emerged metamaterials in recent decades. Due to the elaborately designed internal micro‐structures and stimuli‐responsive characteristics, AMMs have both the advantages of unusual mechanical properties of mechanical metamaterials and the smart actuation functions of active materials.

Amphibious Transport of Fluids and Solids by Soft Magnetic Carpets
Advanced Science, Volume 8, Issue 21, November 3, 2021., 2021 Artificial magnetic cilia on a soft carpet can be made via a self‐assembly route based on the Rosensweig instability. Soft carpets can transport both liquids and solid objects that are larger and heavier than the artificial cilia, using a crowd‐surfing effect.This amphibious transportation is locally and reconfigurably tunable by simple micromagnets or

Tailoring Flexible Arrays for Artificial Cilia Actuators
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 3, Issue 10, October 2021., 2021 Inspired by structures, rhythms, and functions of natural cilia, artificial cilia actuators that can respond to stimuli such as light, electric, magnetism, etc. are developed to facilitate particle/fluid manipulation, sensing, robot design, and many other fields.
