Rolling, on the microscale, has become particularly interesting for the manipulationof microswarms, since enacting such motion does not require special prefabrication techniques.However, rolling motion has to date been restricted by the need for a physical boundary to breakthe spatial homogeneity of surrounding mediums, which limits its prospects for microswarmnavigation and cargo delivery to locations with no boundaries. Here, in the absence of realphysical boundaries, we show that chain-shaped microswarms can undergo rolling motion alongvirtual walls in the aqueous medium, impelled by a combination of magnetic and acousticfields. A rotational magnetic field causes individual particles to self-assemble and rotate, whilethe pressure nodes generated by an acoustic standing wave field serve as virtual walls. Theacoustic radiation force pushes the rotating microswarms towards a virtual wall and providesthe reaction force needed to break their fore-aft motion symmetry and induce rolling. Wedevelop an experiment-supported theoretical model to quantify the net displacement generatedby rolling. Finally, we demonstrate that rolling can be achieved along arbitrary trajectoriesby dynamically switching the orientation of the virtual walls and the rotational directions ofthe magnetic field. Consequently, the concept of reconfigurable virtual walls developed hereovercomes the fundamental limitation of a physical boundary being required for universalrolling movements. 000912060 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-1215$$a1215 - Simulations, Theory, Optics, and Analytics (STOA) (POF4-121)$$cPOF4-121$$fPOF IV$$x0 000912060 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef 000912060 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)169463$$aSukhov, Alexander$$b1 000912060 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)167472$$aHarting, Jens$$b2$$eCorresponding author 000912060 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)185890$$aMalgaretti, Paolo$$b3 000912060 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aAhmed, Daniel$$b4 000912060 773__ $$a10.21203/rs.3.rs-1505456/v1$$p7347$$tnature communications$$v13$$y2022 000912060 8564_ $$uhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-35078-8 000912060 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/912060/files/Rolling%20Microswarms%20along%20Acoustic%20Virtual%20Walls.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000912060 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:912060$$pdnbdelivery$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access$$popenaire 000912060 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)169463$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b1$$kFZJ 000912060 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)167472$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b2$$kFZJ 000912060 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)185890$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b3$$kFZJ 000912060 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-121$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-120$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-100$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF4-1215$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Energie$$lMaterialien und Technologien für die Energiewende (MTET)$$vPhotovoltaik und Windenergie$$x0 000912060 9141_ $$y2022 000912060 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000912060 920__ $$lyes 000912060 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)IEK-11-20140314$$kIEK-11$$lHelmholtz-Institut Erlangen-Nürnberg Erneuerbare Energien$$x0 000912060 9801_ $$aFullTexts 000912060 980__ $$apreprint 000912060 980__ $$aVDB 000912060 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000912060 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IEK-11-20140314 000912060 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IET-2-20140314
