[ad_1] Many types of motile cells, such as bacteria in our guts and sperms in the female reproductive tract, need to push themselves through tight spaces filled with viscous fluid. In recent years, the movement of these “micro swimmers” has been mimicked in the design of micro- and nanoscale self-propelled …
