Microvalve actuated by Vorticella: self-oscillating valve and improvement measures to calcium-responsive valve

Living machines have microactuators and are suitable for further miniaturization of microsystems, and their potential as autonomous microrobots has been investigated. The key motion of micromechanisms is self-oscillation, which has been achieved by the synchronized motion of cardiomyocytes. Pulsatil...
