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.
