This looks like the first big step towards moving from nanoparticles to true nanobots.

"A tiny chemical "brain" which could one day act as a remote control for swarms of nano-machines has been invented.

The molecular device - just two billionths of a metre across - was able to control eight of the microscopic machines simultaneously in a test."

"The machine is made from 17 molecules of the chemical duroquinone. Each one is known as a "logic device".
