Michael, Nico, and Derek have just published their paper titled “Viscophobic turning dictates microalgae transport in viscosity gradients” in Nature Physics. This work demonstrates how a flagellar thrust imbalance leads biflagellated cells to avoid regions of high fluid viscosity. See also the accompanying article from Tufts.
