If a colloidal sphere is placed at the interface between fast and slow #bacteria, individual cells will push more on the fast side, but there will be more in the slow region. So in which direction will it move?
The answer in our new @NatureComms article:
nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Microscopic #biohybrid #robots can be remotely controlled by unbalancing light projected on two bacterial motors. These #microbots can be independently programmed to navigate a route and maybe one day deliver cells in microfluidic chips.

When capillary forces restrict the body motions of E. coli #bacteria trapped in a water-air interface, the angle of inclination and flexibility of the flagellar bundle select one of four main swimming modes.

Researchers propose to rectify and confine bacteria using an optical feedback loop that couples bacteria to past configurations #GettingApplied nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
We herd #bacteria into regions of high density and motility using computer-controlled 'sheepdogs' of light.
Out in @NatureComms with @MassanaCid, C.Maggi and @GiacoFrangipane.

By using #VR to combine holographic microscopy with #opticaltweezers, you can "shrink" your body to microscopic size and use your hands to play with #colloids, build 3D microstructures, and catch swimming #bacteria on the fly.

Our new @NatureComms article shows that strong enough confinement can make #bacteria swim faster by stabilizing trajectories that run along the axis of narrow channels.
