Time-averaged image of a sequence of frames that show streaming 70 μm beads in a microfluidic cavity with a vibrating silicon chip. The collective rotation of the beads shows a farandolelike motion. The mean bead trajectory is overlaid; color indicates orthoradial velocity. Selected for an Editors’ Suggestion and for a Viewpoint in Physics.
