Bio-Nanotechnology Breakthrough: Building “Nanomotors” and “Nanostructures” with RNA

Left: Human red blood cells = 7 micrometers (microns). Middle: Influenza viruses = about 80-100 nanometers. Right: SARS coronavirus = 100 nanometers. 1 micrometer (micron) = 1 / millionth of a meter (39.37 inches) 1 nanometer = 1 / billionth of a meter — **Left**: Human red blood cells = 7 micrometers (microns). **Middle**: Influenza viruses = about 80-100 nanometers. **Right**: SARS coronavirus = 100 nanometers.

August 21, 2004 West LaFayette, Indiana - When you enter the world of bio-nanotechnology, you are so small that if one nanometer were the size of a single pea, a regular meter of 39.37 inches would be the size of the Earth! In that nano world, virus sizes vary from 18 to 300 nanometers.
