Tiny robots powered by light can hunt down and collect bacteria Light-powered nanorobots can now hunt down, collect, and relocate bacteria like futuristic microscopic cleaning crews. Date: August 18, 2026 Source: University of Würzburg Summary: Researchers have built microscopic, light-driven robots that can rapidly navigate through liquid, collect bacteria, and deposit them in chosen locations. These tiny “cleaners” could open new possibilities for manipulating cells and microbes with remarkable precision.
