Yeah, but we didn't really design those, and we're not that great at asking them to perform tasks for us. This particular molecular machine isn't particularly useful, no - it's a single-application "device," which only works at profoundly low temperatures - but it's a step toward widespread deployment of nano-machines, and was worth bringing attention to, even if some other organism got there first.

Not to mention the fact that the power source was a macro-structure.

How many clowns can you fit in it?

As one of my friends pointed out, the guy who designed the nano-spanner must be the unsung hero of the operation!
