The nanorods range in size from a few hundred nanometers to a few micrometers in length, and a few tens of nanometers in diameter.

Fabrication of the nanorods begins with the functionalization of individual lengths of cellulose, an inexpensive long - chain biopolymer harvested from trees.

The device has been used to separate different blood components, to separate cancer cells from blood and to manipulate nanorod motors inside living cells, to name only a few research areas.

After all, the reason the effect diminishes with each repeated boil could be because the nanorods are actually detaching from the bottom of the pot, leaching into the contents as they are exposed to the turbulent boiling water.

Potential industrial applications for materials made from nanorods include the cutting and polishing of alloys and ceramics.
