Nice, but the effect is not quite right.  If you rotate horizontally, the 
molecules mirror each other, but when you rotate it vertically the synced 
molecule rotates the opposite direction so the molecules don't mirror each 
other any more.  Imagine if you held your hand up to a mirror and moved it back 
and forth horizontally and the reflection moved with it, but when you moved 
your hand up the reflection moved down.  Seems kind of weird.
