Well, I guess we'll see whethr this latest improvement is going to matter much! Still, the use of viruses to do some primitive nanomanufacturing has been proving pretty good; they've recently made some significantly(by pre-nanotech world standards) improved batteries with viruses!(the news items detailing this development are long ago barried in so much science news since then;) I remember somebody making the evolution faster years ago(probably like over five years ago now).
