Pick any object around you, your smartphone or even you t-shirt. Now think about what it does well and what it doesn&rsquo;t do well. Your t-shirt for instance makes you look great, but if you wear your t-shirt on a hot summer day or while working out, the sweat will be visible on the t-shirt, but if its atoms are manipulated, you can produce a material which is sweatproof.<\/p>\n<p>Everything good or bad depends on the individual atoms.
