Abstract

Miniaturized robotic swimmers are useful for navigating and performing tasks at micro- and nanoscales. Their realization can revolutionize minimally invasive procedures, for instance, micro- and nanoswimmers can navigate the human body to unclog arteries or delivery drug to solid tumors. The achiral microswimmers, in particular, can be used synergistically with particulate drug delivery systems ...
