Marangoni effect inspired robotic self-propulsion over a water surface using a flow-imbibition-powered microfluidic pump

Certain aquatic insects rapidly traverse water by secreting surfactants that exploit the Marangoni effect, inspiring the development of many self-propulsion systems. In this research, to demonstrate a new way of delivering liquid fuel to a water surface for Marangoni propulsion, a microfluidic pump...
