Cilia and flagella are fundamental units of motion in cellular biology. These beating, hair-like
organelles share a common basic structure but maintain widely varying functions in systems …

In the past decade, the volvocine green algae, spanning from the unicellular
Chlamydomonas to multicellular Volvox, have emerged as model organisms for a number of …

Magnetic miniature soft robots have shown great potential for facilitating biomedical
applications by minimizing invasiveness and possible physical damage. However …

Swimming microrobots that are energized by external magnetic fields exhibit a variety of
intriguing collective behaviors, ranging from dynamic self-organization to coherent motion; …

Cell motility in viscous fluids is ubiquitous and affects many biological processes, including
reproduction, infection and the marine life ecosystem. Here we review the biophysical and …

Bacterial processes ranging from gene expression to motility and biofilm formation are
constantly challenged by internal and external noise. While the importance of stochastic …

The swimming trajectories of self-propelled organisms or synthetic devices in a viscous fluid
can be altered by hydrodynamic interactions with nearby boundaries. We explore a …

Abstract Since the Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics first published a review on
microorganism locomotion by Jahn & Votta (1972) considerable progress has been made in …

Condensation of objects into stable clusters occurs naturally in equilibrium and driven
systems,,,. It is commonly held that potential interactions, depletion forces, or sensing are the …

The ability of collapsing (cavitating) bubbles to focus and concentrate energy, forces and
stresses is at the root of phenomena such as cavitation damage, sonochemistry or …
