This is a review of the advances in microfluidics and how they apply to microswimmers. The paper is quite in-depth and covers actuation mechanisms, the role of microfluidics in developing microswimmers, and future applications of microswimmers.
Items of particular interest in this review:
- Chemical swimmers that solve mazes by following a chemical gradient
- External magnetic fields that are used to drive microswimmers
- Cargo towing techniques
Read the in-depth review to learn more about the state of microswimmers.
