Non-Stokesian dynamics of magnetic helical nanoswimmers under confinement

Electromagnetically propelled helical nanoswimmers offer great potential for nanorobotic applications. Here, the effect of confinement on their propulsion is characterized using lattice-Boltzmann simulations. Two principal mechanisms give rise to their forward motion under confinement: 1) pure swimm...
