"Nanogap-nanohole devices can be used in the manufacture of single-molecule detectors and provide new opportunities for DNA nanopore sequencing."

Scientists have developed a way to "hand craft" nano devices with features smaller than 10 nanometers for the first time. Apparently this may allow the creation of machines small enough to manipulate DNA---at least, that is the implication I draw from the above sentence. Pretty amazing possibility.
