On the project

This project introduces a hybrid micromotor system designed for autonomous navigation in biological environments. It resolves a critical drawback where current generation of micromotors either lack the power to move in ionic media or the autonomy to find targets without manual steering. By integrating a catalytic component to steer along chemical gradients while utilizing ultrasound for robust propulsion,the proposed system decouples direction control and motion.
