Metal nanoparticles can be very useful, especially when they become usable nanostructures without outside stimulus.

Self-assembly is a relatively new development in the burgeoning field of nanotechnology. Though the idea has been kicked around for many years, manipulating particles less than a nanometer in diameter is still a difficult task. As the interest in nanotech grows, research is opening up new ideas and new methods for exploring the microscopic worlds nanoparticles inhabit.
