Description
Summary:The front cover illustrates the in vivo imaging and controlled swimming of a swarm of microrobots in deep tissue, which is described in detail by K. Kostarelos, B. J. Nelson, and co‐workers on page 2981. These microrobots, called artificial bacterial flagella (ABFs), are similar in size and geometry to bacterial flagella, and are capable of 3D navigation in fluids under low‐strength rotating magnetic fields (<10 mT). They show potential applications in biomedicine such as targeted therapy.
