>>They are extremely efficient to the point of approaching the limits of physics
by what metric and citation needed
>>Why re-invent the wheel when nature gave you the tools you can just use?
Because sometimes you can't find a wheel you need in nature. Nature only works in a limited set of environments. So you want something that works in solid ice or at really cold temperatures? Good fucking luck with that.
>> How are you going to design something more efficient than this?
why should I want a virus? Also phage therapy is a meme.

>>actual sci-fi
this is a thread about nanobots. Synthetic molecular machines aren't sci-fi and were the subject of the 2016 Nobel Prize in chemistry. In my book viruses and bacteria don't count, because they don't do exactly what we want.
>>So we simplify
good luck with that.
>>Stop wanting to be made of silicon, you loser.
and where did I ever say that?
