Electrolysis of selectively patterned Vorticella with pneumatic microchambers and electrodes

Living machines are expected to expand the limits of silicon microtechnology. Vorticella convallaria is a ciliated protozoa and a promising linear actuator. The use of Vorticella as a Ca2+-responsive actuator, in a small system, requires a reduction in the size of the membrane treatment of selective...
