Effective Viscosity of Microswimmer Suspensions [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2010 The measurement of a quantitative and macroscopic parameter to estimate the global motility of a large population of swimming biological cells is a challenge Experiments on the rheology of active suspensions have been performed. Effective viscosity of sheared suspensions of live unicellular motile micro-algae (\textit{Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii}) is far

Entropy production and thermodynamic inference for stochastic microswimmers [PDF]
Physical Review Research, 2023 The question of characterization of the degree of nonequilibrium activity in active matter systems is studied in the context of a stochastic microswimmer model driven by a chemical cycle.

Oscillatory rheotaxis of artificial swimmers in microchannels
Nature Communications, 2022 Biological and artificial microswimmers often navigate channels under external flow, where in many biomicroswimmers the active upstream motion is oscillatory. Here the authors demonstrate that regular, controllable, and reproducible oscillatory rheotaxis

Photopatterned microswimmers with programmable motion without external stimuli
Nature Communications, 2021 Maragoni microswimmers show the advantage of self-propulsion but their development is limited by fabrication techniques. Here, the authors use a photopatterning method which allows for a high throughput production of maragoni microswimmers with multiple ...

Simulation of a model microswimmer
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2009 We discuss the modelling of a microswimmer that operates in a 'squirmer' mode, by means of stochastic rotation dynamics. The squirmer that we model can easily be tuned between a 'pusher' and a 'puller'. We examine the flows produced by the squirmer and find that there is good agreement between both the predicted and simulated velocities of locomotion ...
