Powering 3D Printed Micromotors With E.Coli Bacteria, Sapienza University Study
Researchers from the Sapienza University of Rome have created 3D printed micromotors that can be powered by E.coli bacteria.
The group created micromotors using a custom-built two photon polymerization setup and were able to autonomously capture and harness the swimming bacteria. Two photon polymerization is a type of stereolithography and involves the use of a laser to cure materials into intricate 3D structures.
