Before revision: Microscopic URLanismslocomote in viscous fluids through spontaneous beating of filamentous structures anchored at one end, such as flagella and cilia. Prokaryotic flagella rotate rigidly like a corkscrew, while eukaryotic flagella are flexible and oscillate in a plane. We observe similar biomimetic beating behaviorin silico by clamping an active filament at one end and solving for hydrodynamics interactions.
