Coated microbubbles exploit shell buckling to swim

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Cleverly engineered microswimmers show great promise in various biomedical applications. Current realizations are generally either too slow, hardly manoeuvrable, or non biocompatible. To overcome these limitations, we consider lipid coated microbubbles that are already approved for clinical use as diagnostic ultrasound contrast agents. Through a combination of experiments and numerical...
