Sorting of Chiral Microswimmers [PDF]
Soft Matter 9, 6347-6542, 2013, 2013 Microscopic swimmers, e.g., chemotactic bacteria and cells, are capable of directed motion by exerting a force on their environment. For asymmetric microswimmers, e.g., bacteria, spermatozoa and many artificial active colloidal particles, a torque is ...
