Walking Molecule Now Carries Packages

Roland Piquepaille writes "Chemists from the University of California at Riverside designed two years ago a molecule which could move straight on a flat surface — a nano-walker if you wish. Now, they've found a way to force this walking molecule to carry packages. The nano-worker can now carry two CO2 molecules. And like yourself when you carry two heavy bags, this nano-worker is slower when it carries other molecules. The researchers think their discovery will lead to reliable ways of carrying molecules, an equivalent of the conveyor belts in today's factories."

Perhaps he commented on his own story with some half-baked comment/question hoping to generate even more traffic to his well known ad site, therefore generating even more revenue. This guy has quite the history on slashdot, look into it...
