Over the years, light has been the key to powering and directing the movement of nanomotors. But precisely controlling that movement and actuating motion lateral to a beam of light has remained a challenge.

Now researchers at the Institute of Industrial Science at The University Of Tokyo are using light to drive objects with both precision and lateral motion. (See video below.)
