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

Navigating Gravity: Competing Effects Result in Opposing Taxis for Different Janus Swimmers. [PDF]
SmallThe combined effects of gravity and wall‐induced hydrodynamics on the motion of Janus colloids are investigated. Platinum‐ and copper‐coated silica microswimmers show distinct gravitactic alignment near surfaces due to different hydrodynamic couplings. This distinct gravitactic behavior enables separation of initially mixed active particles.

Autonomous elastic microswimmer [PDF]
Europhysics Letters, 2021 Abstract A model of an autonomous three-sphere microswimmer is proposed by implementing a coupling effect between the two natural lengths of an elastic microswimmer. Such a coupling mechanism is motivated by the previous models for synchronization phenomena in coupled oscillator systems.
