Self-assembling nanosphere clusters may improve everything from drug synthesis to drug delivery, say investigators. These nanoflasks, which have a span of several nanometers, or millionths of a millimeter, can accelerate chemical reactions for research. In the future, they might facilitate the manufacture of various industrial materials and perhaps even serve as vehicles for drug delivery.
