Millimeter-scale magnetic rotating swimmers have multiple potential medical applications. They could, for example, navigate inside the bloodstream of a patient toward an occlusion and remove it. Magnetic rotating swimmers have internal magnets and propeller fins with a helical shape. A rotating magnetic field applies torque on the swimmer and makes it rotate. The shape of the swimmer, combined wit...
