New Journal of Physics, 2019 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 ...

Droplet microswimmers: chemohydrodynamic and collective effects
, 2023 In this thesis, we investigate the chemohydrodynamics of droplet microswimmers from the individual to the collective scale. A popular experimental realization of a droplet micro-swimmer consists of oil-in-water (alternatively, water-in-oil) emulsions in which the outer phase is a supramicellar surfactant solution that acts as a fuel for droplet ...

A three-sphere microswimmer in a structured fluid
, 2018 We discuss the locomotion of a three-sphere microswimmer in a viscoelastic structured fluid characterized by typical length and time scales. We derive a general expression to link the average swimming velocity to the sphere mobilities.

Cross‐Scale Hierarchical Targeted Delivery System Based on Small‐Scale Magnetic Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article reviews a cross‐scale hierarchical targeted delivery system that integrates magnetic continuum robots and magnetic microrobots. By combining rapid long‐range navigation with precise microscale targeting, the system overcomes key limitations of single‐scale approaches.

Efficiency of cargo towing by a microswimmer [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2008 We study the properties of an arbitrary microswimmer towing a passive load through a viscous liquid. The simple close-form expression for the dragging efficiency of a microswimmer dragging a distant load is found, and the approximation for finite mutual proximity is derived.
