Inertial and viscous flywheel sensing of nanoparticles
Georgios Katsikis, Jesse F. Collis, Scott M. Knudsen +3
Rotational dynamics often challenge physical intuition while enabling unique realizations, from the rotor of a gyroscope that maintains its orientation regardless of the outer gimb…

Synchronous magnetic control of water droplets in bulk ferrofluid
Georgios Katsikis, Alexandre Breant, Anatoly Rinberg +1
We present a microfluidic platform for two-dimensional manipulation of water droplets immersed in bulk oil-based ferrofluid. Although non-magnetic, the droplets are exclusively con…

Schistosoma mansoni cercariae exploit an elastohydrodynamic coupling to swim efficiently
Deepak Krishnamurthy, Georgios Katsikis, Arjun Bhargava +1
The motility of many parasites is critical for the infection process of their host, as exemplified by the transmission cycle of the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni. In their human…
