Things so minuscule, they're measured in billionths of a meter--nanometers--a dimension as dwarfed by a human hair as a baseball is by Everest. Among the mini-materials: colorful atom clusters called quantum dots. Super-strong cylinders called nanotubes. Spheres called buckyballs. And the vast array of nature's own remarkable molecules, including DNA."
