Life at Low Reynolds Number: Why a Micron-Scale Swimmer Cannot Coast
Cut a swimmer down to a few microns and inertia disappears entirely. What is left is a world where motion stops the instant the pushing does, and where symmetry decides whether you go anywhere at all.
A 70-Year-Old Dispersion Law Meets Self-Propelled Swimmers
Does the classic Taylor-Aris dispersion law survive when the particles swim on their own? A microfluidic experiment with live microalgae says yes.
Sensory Delay as a Feature: Janus Microswimmers That Adapt to Light and Chemistry
New Janus microswimmers self-regulate propulsion speed in response to light and dissolved chemicals. A built-in sensory delay makes their localization sharper, not slower.
