Spontaneous vortex formation by microswimmers with retarded attractions
Nature Communications, 2023 Time-delayed interactions involving perception, decision, and reaction, are omnipresent in the living world. Here, the delayed self-propulsion of a microswimmer toward a target gives rise to chiral orbital motion via a symmetry-breaking bifurcation ...

Generalized Taylor dispersion of chiral microswimmers. [PDF]
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng SciTransport phenomena of microswimmers in fluid flows play a crucial role in various biological processes, including bioconvection and cell sorting. In this article, we investigate the dispersion behaviour of chiral microswimmers in a simple shear flow using the generalized Taylor dispersion theory, inspired by biased locomotion of bacterial rheotaxis ...

Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance of Metamorphic Microrobots Using Concentric Sector Navigator
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Metamorphic magnetic microrobots are navigated using a concentric sector navigator for dynamic obstacle avoidance in both microroller and swarm states. After microroller transport, citrate‐triggered dissolution releases nanoparticles that reassemble into a controllable swarm.

MRI driven magnetic microswimmers [PDF]
Biomedical Microdevices, 2011 Capsule endoscopy is a promising technique for diagnosing diseases in the digestive system. Here we design and characterize a miniature swimming mechanism that uses the magnetic fields of the MRI for both propulsion and wireless powering of the capsule. Our method uses both the static and the radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields inherently available in

Dynamics of microswimmers near a soft penetrable interface
Physical Review Research, 2022 Few simulations exist for microswimmers near deformable interfaces. Here, we present numerical simulations of the hydrodynamic flows associated with a single microswimmer embedded in a binary fluid mixture. The two fluids demix, separated by a penetrable

Interaction‐Driven Assembly Pathways in Heterogeneous Active Microrobotic Systems
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 73, 10 September 2026.Peanut‐ and cube‐shaped light‐powered microrobots exhibit distinct magnetic and photocatalytic responses that determine their heterogeneous self‐assembly. In the dark, magnetic dipole interactions drive colloidal copolymerization with cubes acting as nucleation centers, whereas under light irradiation, phoretic interactions compete with magnetic ...

Brownian dynamics of a microswimmer
, 2008 We report on dynamic properties of a simple model microswimmer composed of three spheres and propelling itself in a viscous fluid by spinning motion of the spheres under zero net torque constraint.
