Among several models for microswimmers, the three-sphere microswimmer proposed by
Najafi and Golestanian captures the essential mechanism for the locomotion of a …

Motility is a fundamental feature of living matter, encompassing single cells and collective
behavior. Such living systems are characterized by nonconservativity of energy and a large …

The dynamics and stability of a swarm of microswimmers is examined here using a
thermodynamically compliant microswimmer model. The theory presented in this work is a …

We discuss and compare the statistical properties of two stochastic three-sphere
micromachines, ie, odd micromachine and thermal micromachine. We calculate the steady …

We use the Deep Q-Network with reinforcement learning to investigate the emergence of
odd elasticity in an elastic microswimmer model. For an elastic microswimmer, it is …

We suggest several reciprocal swimming mechanisms that lead to locomotion only in
viscoelastic fluids. In the first situation, we consider a three-sphere microswimmer with a …

We discuss the nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of a thermally driven micromachine
consisting of three spheres and two harmonic springs [Y. Hosaka et al., J. Phys. Soc. Jpn …

The mechanics of crawling cells on a substrate is investigated by using a minimal model that
satisfies the force-free condition. A cell is described by two subcellular elements connected …

Studies of model microswimmers have significantly contributed to the understanding of the
principles of self-propulsion we have today. However, only a small number of microswimmer …
