Programmable metachronal motion of densely packed magnetic artificial cilia [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Despite recent advances in artificial cilia technologies, the application of metachrony, which is the collective wavelike motion by cilia moving out-of-phase, has been severely hampered by difficulties in controlling densely packed artificial cilia at micrometer length scales. Moreover, there has been no direct experimental proof yet that a metachronal

Hydrodynamic Synchronization and Metachronal Waves on the Surface of the Colonial AlgaVolvox carteri [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2012 From unicellular ciliates to the respiratory epithelium, carpets of cilia display metachronal waves, long-wavelength phase modulations of the beating cycles, which theory suggests may arise from hydrodynamic coupling. Experiments have been limited by a lack of organisms suitable for systematic study of flagella and the flows they create.

Interpreting the synchronisation of driven colloidal oscillators via the mean pair interaction
New Journal of Physics, 2018 To explore the generic features of synchronisation facilitated by hydrodynamic interactions dominated by viscous forces, we investigate small systems of rowers; rowers are a highly simplified model for motile cilia, with each cilium approximated by a ...

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 35, August 28, 2024.Considering functional and structural materials and systems inspired by the principles of living nature, single‐celled organisms in particular are a promising model. The amazing bandwidth of different materials in ciliates ranges from nanostructured composites, over mineralized structures to self‐assembled protein structures.

A Mathematical Model for the Flow of a Casson Fluid due to Metachronal Beating of Cilia in a Tube
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 A mathematical model is developed to study the transport mechanism of a Casson fluid flow inspired by the metachronal coordination between the beating cilia in a cylindrical tube. A two‐dimensional system of nonlinear equations governing the flow problem is formulated by using axisymmetric cylindrical coordinates and then simplified by employing the ...

Spontaneous Synchronization of Beating Cilia: An Experimental Proof Using Vision-Based Control [PDF]
, 2018 This article investigates the formation of spontaneous coordination in a row of flexible 2D flaps (artificial cilia) in a chamber filled with a high viscous liquid (Re = 0.12). Each flap is driven individually to oscillate by a rotary motor with the root

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.
