Synthesis of Anthropomorphic Molecules
An anonymous reader submits "Chemists at Rice have synthesized a set of 2nm tall molecules resembling humans. They make impressive use of a modular and composable assembly process involving torsos, lower bodies, and heads. Full article can (w/ protocols) be had here. Make your own NanoKid today!" The article itself is payware, but the pictures are not, and worth visiting.

Granted this is a well known and respected research, but that does not give him the right to piss away your money.
