• Resumen

  • Add nutrients, consider the temperature, monitor precipitation--the basics of gardening are much the same even at the nanoscale. Cultivators of the very small have grown flowers, exotic fruits and whole meadows from molecules assembled out of solution. But unless they use expensive, laborious techniques, all they can do is plant the seeds and watch as crops spring up uncontrolled. Wim Noorduin of Harvard University and his colleagues wanted a less costly way to tend their nano-flowers and create intricate arrangements.
