Driving a Microswimmer with Wall-Induced Flow

Driving a Microswimmer with Wall-Induced Flow

Active walls such as cilia and bacteria carpets generate background flows that can influence the trajectories of microswimmers moving nearby. Recent advances in artificial magnetic cilia carpets offer the potentiality to use a similar wall-generated background flow to steer bio-hybrid microrobots. I...
