From the good people of http://www.nanoethics.org/. It’s free and open to the public, so I’ll have to see if I can attend.

Because of the way viruses work, they are ideal for self-assembly of materials.

Quote: “Future applications may be found in liquid crystal assembly, nanoscale templating, nanoelectronic and biomedical applications.” said Dr Dave Evans of the John Innes Centre.
