Nanosensors that "reset" themselves.

Imagine a swarm of tiny devices only a few hundred nanometers in size that can detect trace amounts of toxins in a water supply or the very earliest signs of cancer in the blood. Now imagine that these tiny sensors can reset themselves, allowing for repeated use over time inside a body of water-or a human body. In a recent Yale Univ. breakthrough, this has become a reality.
