  • Fluid flow through airways—necessary to keep lungs healthy and free from particles—occurs thanks to moving cilia. Here the authors show that defects in the arrangement of these cilia can facilitate particle clearance through the lungs.

  • Fick’s laws describe the essential physics of diffusion, but it is challenging to extend them to systems out of equilibrium. The authors derive the diffusivity of particles near active carpets - a surface covered with hydrodynamic actuators, which provides a framework for transport in living matter.

  • Bacteria can swim upstream by reorienting with respect to fluid flows. Here, the authors observe an oscillatory motion and describe the mechanisms behind these reorientation dynamics, which could help designing strategies for bacterial contamination prevention.

  • Targeted drug delivery is an exciting application of nanorobotics, but directing particles in the blood stream to the right location and in sufficient number is challenging. Gu and colleagues have developed a microtubule scaffold with embedded micromagnets that allows cargo, such as drug particles, to be transported in microvascular networks with precision and speed.

  • Ultra-fast hydrodynamic communication between cells emerges in colonies of Spirostomum ambiguum through the generation of long-ranged vortex flows that are sensed by neighbouring cells, leading to propagating trigger waves that coordinate the release of toxins.
