These days, using nanotechnology, scientists are able to create lattices, which direct stem cells to create organs.

Now, there may be a process, which while it may not be able to turn lead into gold, but may just create structure out of seeming nothingness to teach atoms to create a useful form. Or in a more technical level, the ability to design and assemble three-dimensional structures from colloidal particles is limited by the absence of specific directional bonds.

Host Andrew Hiller spoke with Dr. David Pine, a physics professor at the Center for Soft Matter Research at New York University, to discuss this process.
