Collapse of lipidic ultrasound contrast agents under high-frequency compressive load has
been historically interpreted by the vanishing of surface tension. By contrast, buckling of …

We introduce a model that describes spherical oscillations of encapsulated microbubbles in
an unbounded surrounding fluid. A Rayleigh–Plesset-like equation is derived by coupling …

Engineered microswimmers show great promise in various biomedical applications.
However, their application is hindered by the slow mobility, limited maneuverability and poor …

As a type of soft composite material, the hard-magnetic soft materials (HMSM) can retain
high residual magnetization due to the high-coercivity of hard-magnetic particles …

Microcapsules with liquid cores encapsulated by thin membranes have many applications in
science, medicine and industry. In this paper, we design a suspension of microcapsules …

We performed dynamic pressure buckling experiments on defect-seeded spherical shells
made of a common silicone elastomer. Unlike in quasi-static experiments, shells buckled at …

We explore the intrinsic dynamics of spherical shells immersed in a fluid in the vicinity of
their buckled state, through experiments and three-dimensional axisymmetric simulations …

Cleverly engineered microswimmers have drawn increasing attention and have shown great
promise for various biomedical applications. In this study, we propose a novel mechanism of …

Cleverly engineered microswimmers show great promise in various biomedical applications.
Current realizations are generally either too slow, hardly manoeuvrable, or non …
