Symmetry breaking propulsion of magnetic microspheres in nonlinearly viscoelastic fluids
A self-propelling agent at small Reynolds numbers usually requires a fore-aft asymmetry in order to circumvent the scallop theorem. Here Rogowski et al. show that this need not be true for motion in non-linear viscoelastic fluids, where an initial symmetry may be broken spontaneously.
