In a recent study, researchers from the Institute of Physics have developed a new type of micro-swimmer that can move through fluids using undulatory motion. This new type of micro-swimmer is made of a single, elastic membrane that is driven by external electric fields, allowing them to move through fluids in a wave-like motion. The researchers believe this new type of micro-swimmer could be used to transport particles or perform chemical tasks in fluids. The potential applications of this new technology are exciting and could revolutionize the field of fluid dynamics.
