New Nanomachines with Potential to Impact Real-World Medical Applications

Think of constructing a complex work of architecture such as a castle. Now imagine if when all its individual parts are gathered together, the castle automatically begins to assemble by itself. Stretch that imagination by scaling down the size of this castle to be a size so small that it has to be measured on the same scale as viruses, DNA, and small molecules.
