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

We investigate the statistical properties of fluctuations in active systems that are governed by
nonsymmetric responses. Both an underdamped Langevin system with an odd resistance …

Geometric confinements are frequently encountered in soft matter systems and in particular
significantly alter the dynamics of swimming microorganisms in viscous media. Surface …

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

We study the motion of a Brownian particle subjected to Lorentz force due to an external
magnetic field. Each spatial degree of freedom of the particle is coupled to a different …

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 …

From bacteria and sperm cells to artificial microrobots, self-propelled microscopic objects at
low Reynolds numbers often perceive fluctuating mechanical and chemical stimuli and …

We investigate the hydrodynamic interaction between two elastic swimmers composed of
three spheres and two harmonic springs. In this model, the natural length of each spring is …
