Bead-Based Hydrodynamic Simulations of Rigid Magnetic Micropropellers

The field of synthetic microswimmers, micro-robots moving in aqueous environments, has evolved significantly in the last years. Micro-robots actuated and steered by external magnetic fields are of particular interest because of the biocompatibility of this energy source and the possibility of remote...
