Researchers have developed minuscule devices that use light to control movement in multiple directions, advancing the potential for light-powered spacecraft. The metajets, made from silicon, were tested in a lab setting and showed promising results for steering large sails through space. This breakthrough could help overcome current limitations in directing such vessels over vast distances.
