Minimal design of a synthetic cilium
Clément Moreau, Benjamin J. Walker, Rebecca N. Poon +4
We study a slender filament beating in a viscous fluid with novel curvature-dependent bending stiffness. Our numerical and experimental investigations reveal that such differential…

Optimal face-to-face coupling for fast self-folding kirigami
Maks Pecnik Bambic, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Benjamin J. Walker +4
Kirigami-inspired designs can enable self-folding three-dimensional materials from flat, two-dimensional sheets. Hierarchical designs of connected levels increase the diversity of…

Control and controllability of microswimmers by a shearing flow
Clément Moreau, Kenta Ishimoto, Eamonn A. Gaffney +1
With the continuing rapid development of artificial microrobots and active particles, questions of microswimmer guidance and control are becoming ever more relevant and prevalent.…
