Nanoassembly With Water

Water is sometimes known as the universal solvent. But researchers at Harvard want to use water to put things together instead of taking them apart. Really small things. In the video below, you can see a simple 3D-printed machine that braids microscopic fibers. The key appears to be surface tension and capillary action. A capillary machine uses channels that repel floating objects. By moving the c
