Interactions between fluid flow and elastic structures are important in many naturally
occurring and engineered systems. This review collects and organizes recent theoretical …

Particles adsorbed to fluid interfaces are ubiquitous in industry, nature or life. The wide
range of properties arising from the assembly of particles at fluid interface has stimulated an …

The development of multifunctional and robust swimming microrobots working at the free air–
liquid interface has encountered challenge as new manipulation strategies are needed to …

This perspective work reviews the current status of research on magnetic particles at fluid
interfaces. The article gives both a unified overview of recent experimental advances and …

When tiny soft ferromagnetic particles are placed along a liquid interface and exposed to a
vertical magnetic field, the balance between capillary attraction and magnetic repulsion …

Nature has evolved a vast array of strategies for propulsion at the air-fluid interface. Inspired
by a survival mechanism initiated by the honeybee (Apis mellifera) trapped on the surface of …

Interfacial swimmers are objects that self-propel at an interface by autonomously generating
a gradient of surface tension, often through the continuous release of a surfactant. While the …

We investigate the radial thermocapillary flow driven by a laser-heated microbead in partial
wetting at the water–air interface. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of the …

We study an active matter system comprised of magnetic microswimmers confined in a
microfluidic channel and show that it exhibits a new type of self-organized behavior …

Light-fueled actuators are promising in many fields due to their contactless, easily
controllable, and eco-efficiency features. However, their application in liquid environments is …
