Nanotechnology
Inspired by the molecular assembly techniques used in living cells, scientists early this year created a new class of nanometer-scale building blocks that can spontaneously assemble themselves into ultra-tiny spheres, tubes and curved sheets.
The technique involved connecting segments of gold with polymer building blocks.
It was the first time scientists made structures on such a small scale that curve, as opposed to being straight or flat. The researchers can also control the size and curvature very accurately, so they say the technology could eventually lead to applications in nanoscale electronics and drug-delivery systems.
