Magnetically tunable bidirectional locomotion of a self-assembled nanorod-sphere propeller

Controlled transport at the micro and nanoscale is a challenge and strategies are needed for applications such as targeted drug delivery and soft microrobotics. Here the authors propose a hybrid nanorod and microsphere propeller which can be actuated and reconfigured by an oscillating magnetic field...
