Opto‐Hydrodynamic Driven 3D Dynamic Microswarm Petals (Laser Photonics Rev. 18(3)/2024).

The article titled "Opto-Hydrodynamic Driven 3D Dynamic Microswarm Petals" presents a new method for controlling the movement of microswarm petals using opto-hydrodynamics. The researchers demonstrate that by utilizing the photothermal gradient-induced Marangoni effect, they can manipulate the shape and migration of these petals. This technique has potential applications in the creation of artificial bio-microswarms using different types of biological cells, which could be used to regulate biological processes such as bacteria growth and division. The authors of the article are Xing Li, Yang Shi, Hongbao Xin, and their colleagues. [Extracted from the article]
