Active colloids are self-propelled particles moving in viscous fluids by consuming fuel from
their surroundings. Here, we review the numerical and theoretical modeling of active …

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 …

The goal of this research is to conduct a theoretical investigation about the effect of the
electroosmotic forces on the swimming of sperms throughout the cervical canal. To imitate …

Biological microorganisms overcome the Brownian motion at low Reynolds numbers by
utilizing symmetry-breaking mechanisms. Inspired by them, various microrobot locomotion …

We review the literature on swimming in complex fluids. A classification is proposed by
comparing the length-and timescales of a swimmer with those of nearby obstacles …

Microrheology encompasses a range of methods to measure the mechanical properties of
soft materials. By characterizing the motion of embedded microscopic particles …

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

We report the emergence of large zigzag bands in a population of reversibly actuated
magnetic rotors that behave as active shakers, namely squirmers that shake the fluid around …

Complex and active fluids find broad applications in flows through porous materials.
Nontrivial rheology can couple to porous microstructure leading to surprising flow patterns …

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