Source data for the publication: Highly motile nanoscale magnetic artificial cilia

This data set contains the source data of the publication: Tanveer ul Islam, Bellouard, Y. & Toonder, J.M.J. den (2021). Highly motile nanoscale magnetic artificial cilia. PNAS Vol. 118, No. 35, e2104930118. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2104930118. In this work, we report a magnetic elastomer preparation process coupled with a tailored molding process for the successful fabrication of artificial cilia with submicrometer dimensions showing unprecedented deflection capabilities, enabling the design of artificial cilia with high motility and at sizes equal to those of their smallest biological counterparts. The reported work crosses the barrier of nanoscale motile cilia fabrication, paving the way for maximum control and manipulation of structures and processes at micro- and nanoscales. The data are experimentally obtained with methods described in the publication.

本数据集收录了下述发表论文的源实验数据：Tanveer ul Islam、Bellouard Y. 与登·图恩德（den Toonder, J.M.J.）于2021年发表于《美国国家科学院院刊》（PNAS）第118卷第35期，文章编号为e2104930118，DOI：10.1073/pnas.2104930118，论文标题为《高活性纳米级磁性人工纤毛（Highly motile nanoscale magnetic artificial cilia）》。本研究报道了一种耦合定制化成型工艺的磁性弹性体制备方案，成功制备出具备空前偏转性能的亚微米级人工纤毛（artificial cilia），可设计出运动活性优异、尺寸可与最小天然纤毛媲美的人工纤毛。此项研究突破了纳米级运动纤毛的制备瓶颈，为微纳尺度下结构与过程的最大化调控与操控开辟了全新路径。本数据集的实验数据均通过该论文中详述的实验方法获取。
