Invention: 'Nanocage' tool untangles (molecular) spaghetti

Scientists have invented a new tool -- they call it a ''nanocage'' -- that can catch and straighten out molecule-sized tangles of polymers - -whether made of protein or plastic. This tool -- that works a bit like pulling a wad of thread through a needle hole -- opens a new way to create custom materials that have never been made before.
