Microfluidic simulation of a colonial diatom chain reveals oscillatory movement

[摘要] Diatoms are single-celled organisms with rigid parts in relative motion at the micro- and nanometer length scales. Some diatom species form colonies comprising many cells. In this manuscript, the results of a two-dimensional finite...
