Source data for the publication: Metachronal actuation of microscopic magnetic artificial cilia generates strong microfluidic pumping

This data set contains the source data of the publication: Zhang, S., Cui, Z., Wang, Y. & Toonder, J.M.J. den (2020). Metachronal actuation of microscopic magnetic artificial cilia generates strong microfluidic pumping. Lab Chip 20, 3569-3581. DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.1039/D0LC00610F. This study experimentally demonstrates that microscopic magnetic artificial cilia performing a metachronal motion can generate strong microfluidic flows, with velocities of up to 3000 um/s in water. The pumping performance of the metachronal microMAC outperforms all previously reported microscopic artificial cilia, and is competitive with that of most of the existing microfluidic pumping methods. The data are experimentally obtained with methods described in the publication.

本数据集包含下述学术出版物的源数据：Zhang, S.、Cui, Z.、Wang, Y. 与 den Toonder, J.M.J.（2020）发表的《微观磁性人工纤毛（microscopic magnetic artificial cilia）的异相驱动（metachronal actuation）实现强效微流控泵送》，刊载于《芯片实验室（Lab Chip）》20卷，页码3569-3581，DOI：https://dx.doi.org/10.1039/D0LC00610F。本研究通过实验证实，呈现异相运动（metachronal motion）的微观磁性人工纤毛可产生强效微流控流场，在水中的最大流速可达3000 μm/s。该异相微型人工纤毛（metachronal microMAC）的泵送性能优于所有此前已报道的微观人工纤毛，且可与绝大多数现有微流控泵送技术相媲美。本数据集的实验数据均采用该学术出版物中描述的实验方法获取。
