Researchers at the University of Ulm have described the first autonomous walking small-molecule machine: a simple phosphate group. The walker travels along a hydroxy-paved molecular track using an alternating series of cyclization and ring-opening reactions.

Same 30 nm gold particles: 24.9 nm by AFM, 28.6 nm by DLS. That gap is physics.
61 labs, one isotherm: 1,757 to 9,341 m²/g. That gap is analysis.

Values are representative.

Back to greedy food supplement chemists - who can afford them? Maybe be a corporation like Nestle, for example?

Well, seems yes, but only part-time, for some products - let me show.

The product #1 from Pure Encapsulations is Magnesium Bisglycinate.
