A fluid motility device includes a substrate and a plurality of molecules bound to a surface of the substrate. Each of the molecules each contain a ferromagnetic, photoactive or ionic moiety. A fluid is contacted with the plurality of molecules. A non-static electromagnetic field generator or photonic generator output impinges on the substrate for moving the molecules in a concerted manner relative to the surface so as to move the fluid. A process for moving a fluid includes placing a surface into contact with a fluid, where the surface has bound thereto a plurality of molecules each containing a ferromagnetic moiety. Activation of an electromagnet in proximity to the surface urges the molecules into a concerted movement relative to the surface resulting in fluid movement. |
