To investigate the propulsion mechanism, trajectory, and cargo transport capabilities of rotating nickel nanowires near patterned solid surfaces using external magnetic fields.
Actuated ferromagnetic nickel nanowires in fluid using a uniform rotating magnetic field.
Generated tumbling motion by creating dissimilar boundary conditions at the nanowire ends near a solid surface.
Evaluated cargo transport capacity using polystyrene microbeads on flat surfaces and across open microchannels.
Dissimilar hydrodynamic boundary conditions near a wall generated a controlled tumbling motion that drove nanowire propulsion.
Rotating magnetic fields provided precise directional control over the trajectory of the nanowires.
Nickel nanowires successfully transported polystyrene microbead cargo across flat surfaces and traversed open microchannels in a low Reynolds number environment.
