Light-driven Rotation of Helical Microstructures in a Fluidic Environment

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Inspired by biological microswimmer strategies, we consider the design of helical silica particles. We characterize optically induced rotation of these “microscrews”, and discuss their applications as highly controlled microswimmers in the low Reynold’s number regime.
