Do self-propelling particles dream of electric bacteri...
(WorldNews Japan)

A University of Tokyo research team developed a new method that allows them to remotely control and move a micron-sized particle to a desired position. This particle, which can be produced in mass quantity at one time, acts as a self-propelling particle capable of maneuvering itself through water by drawing energy from an electric field and possesses two swimming modes-propulsion and rotation. Until now, guiding a self-propelling microparticle to an intended target in water proved...
