In collaboration with Louis Rogowski and MinJun Kim’s group at Southern Methodist University, and Jim Wilking at Montana State University, we have published a paper on the “Symmetry Breaking Propulsion of Magnetic Microspheres in Nonlinearly Viscoelastic Fluids” in Nature Communications. This paper was featured as a Nature Communications Editors’ Highlight .
