Magnetic manipulation of tardigrade movement using patterns (IMAGE)
Caption
(a) A schematic diagram of manipulating the movement of a tardigrade using external magnetic fields. A tardigrade with Co strip patterns on its body is placed in water in a Petri dish. A magnet is positioned approximately 3 cm away from the tardigrade, applying a magnetic field to influence its movement. Optical images showing the control of a tardigrade for rotation (b-f), rolling (g-i), and in-plane displacement (j-l). Scale bars: 70 µm in (b)-(i) and 200 µm in (j)-(l).
