BBCnews is carrying this report on nanotech researchers' latest effort... the nanobucket. By mixing two special chemicals, a unique molecular honeycomb structure is set up, forming voids that can hold a few hundred atoms each.
What's it good for? Well, even they don't seem to know for sure, but I mean, really, it's cool.
Cool, we have a nano-container. Now we just need to build a nanobot that can access the various nano-cells on demand, filling and emptying them when desired. I suspect that will actually be the difficult part.
