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…
Transition in swimming direction in a model self-propelled inertial swimmer
Thomas Dombrowski, Shannon K. Jones, Georgios Katsikis +3
We propose a reciprocal, self-propelled model swimmer at intermediate Reynolds numbers (). Our swimmer consists of two unequal spheres that oscillate in antiphase generating no…
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…
Generation of droplet arrays with rational number spacing patterns driven by a periodic energy landscape
Anatoly Rinberg, Georgios Katsikis, Manu Prakash
The generation of droplets at low Reynolds numbers is driven by non-linear dynamics that give rise to complex patterns concerning both the droplet-to-droplet spacing and the indivi…
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…
Synchronous Droplet Microfluidics: One "Clock" to rule them all
Georgios Katsikis, Manu Prakash
Controlling fluid droplets efficiently in the microscale is of great interest both from a basic science and a technology perspective. We have designed and developed a general-purpo…
