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

Geometric Methods for Efficient Planar Swimming of Copepod Nauplii
Micromachines, 2021 Copepod nauplii are larval crustaceans with important ecological functions. Due to their small size, they experience an environment of low Reynolds number within their aquatic habitat.

Anisotropic mesoscale turbulence and pattern formation in microswimmer suspensions induced by orienting external fields [PDF]
, 2022 This paper studies the influence of orienting external fields on pattern formation, particularly mesoscale turbulence, in microswimmer suspensions. To this end, we apply a hydrodynamic theory that can be derived from a microscopic microswimmer model ...

Miniaturization effect of electroosmotic self-propulsive microswimmer powered by biofuel cell
ROBOMECH Journal, 2019 For future medical microrobotics, we have proposed the concept of the electroosmotic self-propulsive microswimmer powered by biofuel cell. According to the derived theoretical model, its self-propulsion velocity is inversely proportional to the length of

eLife, 2020 Bacteria propel and change direction by rotating long, helical filaments, called flagella. The number of flagella, their arrangement on the cell body and their sense of rotation hypothetically determine the locomotion characteristics of a species.

Microswimmer trapping in surface waves with shear [PDF]
, 2023 Many species of phytoplankton migrate vertically near the surface of the ocean, either in search of light or nutrients. These motile organisms are affected by ocean waves at the surface.

New Journal of Physics, 2007 We investigate the self-locomotion of an elongated microswimmer by virtue of the unidirectional tangential surface treadmilling. We show that the propulsion could be almost frictionless, as the microswimmer is propelled forward with the speed of the backward surface motion, i.e. it moves throughout an almost quiescent fluid.
