Genetic Engineers show viruses are useful entities.

Virus used to make nanoparticles The virus is spherical and has a diameter of 30 nanometresUK scientists from Norwich have used a plant virus to create nanotechnology building blocks. The virus, which infects black-eyed peas, was employed as a "scaffold" on to which other chemicals were attached. By linking iron-containing

compounds to the virus's surface, the John Innes Centre team was able to create electronically active nanoparticles. The researchers tell the journal Small that their work could be used in the future to make tiny electrical devices. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4782152.stm "Our ideal is not the spirituality that withdraws from life but the conquest of life by the power of the spirit." - Aurobindo.
