Abstract

Microfluidic pumping is an essential functionality in lab-on-a-chip devices. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that microscopic magnetic artificial cilia (MAC) performing a 2D metachronal motion can generate strong microfluidic flows. The MAC are actuated by a facile magnetic setup consisting of an array of rod-shaped magnets. By performing the metachronal motion, the MAC can generate a water flow with a velocity of up to 3000 µm/s, which outperforms all previously reported microscopic artificial cilia. These findings offer a novel solution to create on-chip integrated micropumps.
