The untethered biohybrid microswimmer developed by scientists researching in the Physical intelligence Department at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart is able to transport and deliver cargo encapsulated into a guidable red blood cell, while an attached bacterium, one of the most efficient swimmers in nature, acts as a propeller to move it forward. Once it has reached its destination and delivered its cargo, the scientists can destroy the microswimmer using infrared light.
