Propulsion of magnetically actuated achiral planar microswimmers in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids

Abstract Magnetic achiral planar microswimmers can be massively fabricated at low cost and are envisioned to be useful for in vivo biomedical applications. To understand locomotion in representative in vivo environments, we investigated the swimming performance of achiral planar microswimmers in met...
