    Hi there, has anyone thought of using nanotechnology to create a "vehicle" that can travel on top of light?Thereby allowing us to use light as a propulsion system?

    Well, there are solar sails which use light as a propulsion system:

    And at the small scale, light can be used to manipulate objects:

    Is that the sort of thing you were thinking of?
