Microbots Swimming in the Flowing Streams of Microfluidic Channels.

We describe the motion of self-propelled catalytic Ti/Fe/Pt rolled-up microtubes (microbots) in the microchannels of a microfluidics system. Their motion is precisely controlled by a small magnetic field, and the transport of multiple spherical micropartides into desired locations is achieved. The m...
