- atact88, on 07/13/2008, -0/+5Yay chemistry!
- ufee, on 07/13/2008, -3/+2***** this. I want some antimatter superweapons, not a microscopic jar.
- crayoncard, on 07/13/2008, -1/+0thats incredible, actually be able to build molecular structures from scratch and finding ways to manipulate it to our needs. I think it's a good step forward, not only for molecular containers.
