  • The research aims at moving microbots into the bloodstream to deliver drugs.
  • These micro-swimmers are made from the two-dimensional compound poly (heptazine imide) carbon nitride (PHI carbon nitride).
  • Nearly spherical in shape, they range from 1-10 micrometer in size, and can self-propel when energized by light.
  • The PHI carbon nitride microparticles are ....
