Rolling microswarms along acoustic virtual walls

The application of rolling motion to microswarm navigation and cargo delivery has been constrained by the need for a physical boundary to roll along to date. Here, Zhang et al. solve this problem by introducing a reconfigurable virtual wall implemented by a combination of magnetic and acoustic field...
