| Abstract | Non-technical description: The goal of this project is to build and steer swarms of micron-scale magnetic colloidal particles that come together and move cooperatively through complex environments, much like schools of fish, flocks of birds, or swarms of insects. These swarms are activated by a time-varying magnetic source (for example, an electromagnet or a moving permanent magnet) which functions as an external remote controller. The magnetic controller can direct swarms to propel through flui |
