Abstract Various experiments have been conducted on Tardigrades such as resistance to heat and radiation that have concluded that they are extremely resilient animals, though no such research has specifically addressed the effects of electricity. My project aims to understand the effects an electric field has on a Tardigrade in a microfluidic environment to determine if this is the weakness to this otherwise “invisible” organism.
