      In the past I have used lasers for moving around cells and very small particles. Have a look at Optical Tweezers and you will get an idea of how to move things with light!

      Right now, we use them for diagnostics, so maybe finding where a tumour is, and for activating light sensitive drugs in tumours to kill them
