Virus As Nano-building Block: Extreme Nature Helps Scientists Design Nano Materials

ScienceDaily (Oct. 16, 2008) — Scientists are using designs in nature from extreme environments to overcome the challenges of producing materials on the nanometre scale. A team from the UK’s John Innes Centre, the Scripps Research Institute in California and the Institut Pasteur in Paris have identified a stable, modifiable virus that could be used as a nanobuilding block.
