Engineering passive swimmers by shaking liquids

The locomotion and design of microswimmers are topical issues of current fundamental and applied research. In addition to numerous living and artificial active microswimmers, a passive microswimmer was identified only recently: a soft, Λ-shaped, non-buoyant particle propagates in a shaken liquid of...
