Cilia, slender hair-like external cell organelles with a length between 1 and 30 μm, are ubiquitously present in numerous organisms in the natural world. (1−3) These tiny structures play a pivotal role in various biological processes, from the propulsion of microscopic Paramecium, to the clearing of the human respiratory tract, and to the transport of the ovum in fallopian tubes.

Programmable metachronal motion of closely packed magnetic artificial cilia† Despite recent advances in artificial cilia technologies, the application of metachrony, which is the collective wavelike motion by cilia moving out-of-phase, has been severely hampered by difficulties in controlling closely packed artificial cilia at micrometer length scales.
