The study presents magnetic matchstick micromotors with two motion modes that can be switched in situ by an external magnetic field, showing promise for local environment sensing and probing at the microscale.
The ability to in situ tune various motion modes of micromotors is challenging, yet critical for any practical applications of micromotors in complex microenvironments. Here, we designed and synthesized magnetic matchstick micromotors with two motion modes, a persistent rotational motion and a straight-line motion, that can be readily and reversibly switched in situ by an external magnetic field. Such micromotors with switchable motion modes hold considerable promise for local environment sensing and probing at the microscale.
