Cilia-assisted hydromagnetic pumping of biorheological couple stress fluids
Propulsion and Power Research, 2019 A theoretical study is conducted for magnetohydrodynamic pumping of electro-conductive couple stress physiological liquids (e.g. blood) through a two-dimensional ciliated channel. A geometric model is employed for the cilia which are distributed at equal

Magnetic Reprogramming of Self‐Assembled Hard‐Magnetic Cilia
Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 9, Issue 13, July 8, 2024.Hard‐magnetic cilia form through self‐assembly of NdFeB microparticles within a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer. NdFeB cilia can be remagnetized, which reprograms their actuation behaviors. Performing demagnetization prior to remagnetization improves the reprogrammability of the cilia.

Light‐Fueled Nonreciprocal Self‐Oscillators for Fluidic Transportation and Coupling
Advanced Materials, Volume 36, Issue 12, March 21, 2024.Non‐equilibrium self‐sustained motions are widely reported in stimuli‐responsive material systems. Here, a cilia‐like soft actuator that can perform self‐sustained oscillation under water, with programmable nonreciprocal strokes, is demonstrated. The self‐oscillators can realize microfluidic pumping, translocation of a micro‐object, and coupling ...
