Inspired by natural mobile microorganisms, researchers have developed micro/nanomotors
(MNMs) that can autonomously move by transducing different kinds of energies into kinetic …

In active matter systems, individual constituents convert energy into non-conservative forces
or motion at the microscale, leading to morphological features and transport properties that …

Remotely controllable microrobots are appealing for various biomedical in vivo applications.
In particular, in recent years, our group has focused on developing sperm‐microcarriers to …

Fluid dynamics plays a crucial role in many cellular processes, including the locomotion of
cells such as bacteria and spermatozoa. These organisms possess flagella, slender …

Taxis orientation is common in microorganisms, and it provides feasible strategies to
operate active colloids as small‐scale robots. Collective taxes involve numerous units that …

It is well-known that micro-and nanoparticles can move by phoretic effects in response to
externally imposed gradients of scalar quantities such as chemical concentration or electric …

Bacteria are among the oldest and most abundant species on Earth. Bacteria successfully
colonize diverse habitats and play a significant role in the oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen …

Infertility is a growing global health issue with far-reaching socioeconomic implications. A
downward trend in male fertility highlights the acute need for affordable and accessible …

The mammalian female reproductive tract interacts with sperm in various ways in order to
facilitate sperm migration to the egg while impeding migrations of pathogens into the tract, to …

The ability to propel against flows, that is, to perform positive rheotaxis, can provide exciting
opportunities for applications in targeted therapeutics and non-invasive surgery. So far no …
