Dynamics of a microroller under confinement
Han Gao, Nan Xie, Zaiyi Shen +3
The paper investigates how rotating particles (microrollers) move in confined microchannels, showing that their translational speed decreases and can reverse as the channel narrows…

Passive cell body plays active roles in microalgal swimming via nonreciprocal interactions
Xiaoping Hu, Zhaorong Liu, Da Wei +1
The cell body of flagellated microalgae is commonly considered to act merely as a passive load during swimming, and a larger body size would simply reduce the speed. In this work,…

Confinement reduces surface accumulation of swimming bacteria
Da Wei, Shiyuan Hu, Tangmiao Tang +3
Many swimming bacteria naturally inhabit confined environments, yet how confinement influences their swimming behaviors remains unclear. Here, we combine experiments, continuum mod…
