      No I haven’t seen that but it sounds fun!

      Nanostructures that can self-assemble themselves to build bigger things is something that is definitely science-fiction for the moment! It’s something that we may be able to do in the distant future, but no-one really knows how yet. Some people are worried that if we can do this then the nanoforms might get out of control and self-replicate until they’ve eaten the whole world (!) but I don’t think this is very likely, fortunately 😀
