3D Printing Functional Micro-Delivery Systems: Swimming Microtori
In the recently published ‘Shape-programmed 3D printed swimming microtori for the transport of passive and active agents,’ international researchers explore the challenges in mimicking the ‘unique swimming behaviors’ of microorganisms—for…
How 3D Printed Micro Scallops Might Travel In Our Blood
The Scallop Theorem basically says a swimmer needs to deform in a way that is not invariant under time-reversal. That’s some heady stuff. Back in 1977, one Edward Mills Purcell,…
