Rapid expulsion of microswimmers by a vortical flow
The control of microswimmers such as bacteria is important for emerging applications of active bioinspired materials. Here, the authors demonstrate the use of vortical shear to expel suspended motile bacteria from the vicinity of a rotating microparticle.
