Researchers at the École Polytechnique de Montréal used bacteria that follow magnetic pull to build a tiny pyramid:
By using a computer-controlled magnetic field, the researchers turned the bacteria into fully-compliant biological nanorobots.
The trick was using a type of microbe known as magnetotactic bacteria. These critters have little internal compasses, and will follow the pull of a magnetic field…
