Wow, what a fascinating title! "Filamentous Artificial Virus from a Self-Assembled Discrete Nanoribbon."

Researchers at the Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea have been developing an artificial filament-shaped virus that may deliver drugs and other agents to specifically targeted areas. The cures for future diseases may be completely dependent on advances in nanotechnology. Viruses cause very common ailments such as the cold and flu. If scientists could use somehow replicate and control how a virus infects a cell, then this technology may truly revolutionize medicine. The big unknown fear is: will these artificial viruses harm human health? Want to read more? Go here.

I think the fact that nano-tech and atomic schulpturing used with artifical inteligence is valuable and necessary for the development of society and needs to be used on an international basis. The problem of viris corruption such as neo-cheating and the destuction of personal life is a subject to overcome. We need to correct the problems that lie in the artificial inteligence community. I have used artifical inteligence for protection of my own life. I have also been attacted by people using artifical inteligence. I wrote a paper on the problem about one year ago and tried to identify the source of the problem. The law enforcement is using artifical inteligence technology for destructive means.
