Modelling Nature Deadly Machines

These exquisite images are 3-D models of viruses at near-atomic resolution. They are constructed from real data captured by high- powered microscopes and processed by computers running specialised software. Because these 'virtual viruses' can be manipulated in ways that real viruses cannot as they can be rotated, sliced, even peeled apart, scientists are hoping to gain new insights into viruses' structure and behaviour
