Scientists Create And Manipulate Nanoscale "Water Wires" |
Scientists working at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven
National Laboratory have caused tiny strands of water, each less than
one nanometer (a billionth of a meter) in width, to form inside a
common mineral. These nanoscale "water wires" give the scientists a
new opportunity to study the properties of very small quantities of
water, such as that found inside cells, which behave differently than
water at the macro-scale....

I guess we all here will be happy when water nanotransistor appears!

1) Molecular sieves have tunnels of those dimensions without
alteration at ambient conditions.
2) If you actually read the article, you see it is merely one more
least-publishable byte.
