...meets that were in close proximity,” Harvard coach Jason Saretsky said. “I wanted to get the middle runners on the track at the Armory.” Highlighting the Crimson effort, sophomore Hilary May finished first in the women’s 3000-meter run, finishing at 10:05.31.

What makes things trickier still is that not all attraction is equal. Some materials are drawn much more powerfully together than others - particularly on the nano (billionth of a meter) scale. And that difference can be exploited. In the Nature experiment, the research team began by placing a microscopically small sphere of gold on a glass surface. Gold and glass get along well enough and under the right circumstances will attract. But what they both like a whole lot more is a liquid called bromobenzene. When the researchers introduced a little bromobenzene to the other two materials, they both began...

...wastewater undergoes more stringent treatment than almost any water source on the planet. First, the dark beer-colored sewage is pulled through a series of tubes stuffed with thousands of fibers pierced with holes 1/300th the size of a human hair. Anything larger than 0.2 millionth of a meter - which includes suspended solids and bacteria - is left behind. The cleansed water is then forced at high pressure through hundreds of tubes that are filled with tightly wound plastic membranes. Reverse osmosis, as the process is called, stops nonwater molecules - including viruses and pharmaceuticals. (The last part is particularly important...
