The controlled movement of a chemical container by the light-activated expulsion of a chemical fuel, named here photo-chemopropulsion, is an exciting new development in the array of mechanisms employed for controlling the movement of microvehicles, herein represented by lipid-based microdroplets. This chemopropulsion effect can be switched on and off, and is fully reversible.
