During recent years, microrobots have drawn extensive attention owing to their good
controllability and great potential in biomedicine. Powered by external physical fields or …

Human beings encompass sophisticated microcirculation and microenvironments,
incorporating a broad spectrum of microfluidic systems that adopt fundamental roles in …

Microbes thrive in diverse porous environments—from soil and riverbeds to human lungs
and cancer tissues—spanning multiple scales and conditions. Short-to long-term …

A strong micro heat engine that can be used in the untethered state is essential for next-
generation microrobotics. Here, we propose a rapid swimmer using explosive boiling due to …

Fluid-structure interactions between active and passive components are important for many
biological systems to function. A particular example is chromatin in the cell nucleus, where …

Among several models for microswimmers, the three-sphere microswimmer proposed by
Najafi and Golestanian captures the essential mechanism for the locomotion of a …

Anisotropic fluids appear in a diverse array of systems, from liquid crystal displays to
bacterial swarms, and are characterized by orientational order. Large colloidal particles …

A body immersed in a supersaturated fluid like carbonated water can accumulate a dynamic
field of bubbles upon its surface. If the body is mobile, the attached bubbles can lift it upward …

We examine the equilibrium configurations of a nematic liquid crystal with an immersed
body in two dimensions. A complex variables formulation provides a means for finding …

Innovations in fluid mechanics have been leading to better food since ancient history, while
creativity in cooking has inspired fundamental breakthroughs in science. This review …
