    Summary:
    Researchers have built microscopic, light-driven robots that can rapidly
    navigate through liquid, collect bacteria, and deposit them in chosen
    locations.
    These tiny rCLcleanersrCY could open new possibilities for manipulating cells and
    microbes with remarkable precision.
