Microswimmers (C. elegans)

Microswimmers are tiny, self-propelled organisms or synthetic particles that navigate through fluids, often studied for their biomechanics and applications in targeted drug delivery and microrobotics. Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), a nematode widely used as a biological model, serves as a natural microswimmer, using undulatory motion to move efficiently through liquid environments. Studying C. elegans swimming behavior provides insights into neuromuscular function, locomotion mechanics, and the effects of external forces like electric and magnetic fields on microscale propulsion.
