- Tuned, driven, and active soft matter (2015, background): “croscopic artificial cilia was demonstrated via inkjet printing [173]; induced deformations of these slender artificial fibers [173] mimic the deformation cycle of natural cilia that are found on bacterial surfaces and serve for self-propulsion of the microorganisms [174].”
