Nanology of Virology

“We’re using a biological template that’s already on the nanoscale,” Belcher says. i guess this goes to show that while small may or may not be beautiful, it is definitely important enough to have earned its own self-contained metering system. (We can only hope that the anti-obesity squad doesn't start using nanograms as the basis for fining people: 'Sir, your body weight is off the nanoscale - that'll be 1000 Yen!) Dr. Belcher of MIT has just reported a breakthrough in the development of viral batteries. If they can do this with viruses, i can't wait to see where stem cell research is going to lead.
