Helical swimmers, actuated by low-strength uniform rotating magnetic fields, can develop swimming and pumping in low Reynolds number environments. They could play an important role for future in vitro and in vivo biomedical microrobotic tasks. Studying how their morphology influences swimming and pu
The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is a reliable tool for 3D imaging and manipulation at the micrometer and nanometer scales. When used inside a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), AFM probes can be localized and controlled with a nanometer resolution by visual feedback. However, achieving trajectory
The use of untethered miniature swimmers is a promising trend, especially in biomedical applications. These swimmers are often operated remotely using a magnetic field commonly generated using fixed coils that can suffer from a lack of compactness and heating issues. The analysis of the swimming cap
