FLASHBACK: Dawn of the Cyborg Bacteria

"In a basement laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania, two roboticists have harnessed the innate sensing, swimming, and swarming abilities of bacteria to power microscopic robots. Even though their work sounds like the prologue to a dark science fiction film, Ph.D. students Elizabeth Beattie and Denise Wong hope these initial experiments with nano bio-robots will provide a platform for future medical and micro-engineering endeavors."

How far do these developments go in 2022? and what are the potential implications of sythetic biology given the anomalous structures found in the Covid vaccines by diverse scientific teams across the world?
