A wrench or a screwdriver of a single size is useful for some jobs, but for a more complicated project, you need a set of tools of different sizes. Following this guiding principle, researchers have engineered a nanoscale fluidic device that functions as a miniature 'multi-tool' for working with nanoparticles.
