Excuse me... but difference between virus and self replicating nanotechnology based on proteins is really non existent, like between chemical urea and natural urea. Difference between nanorobot and virus ? Future nanorobots would be smaller - maybe,but self replication would make it less affordable.That's all the difference.
Of course - it is complicated. But there are research on synthesis of proteins based on viral source already. About artificial DNA and artificial proteins not known in nature. We don't know much about those research even if it is all done in plain sight - ok ?
And technically NO - not "nanoarticle". nanoparticles are less complicated like fullerenes. Calling virus "nanorobot" would be more near the truth.
Of course there is a question - is thing natural,modified or completely man-made.
But difference between bioengineering and nanotechnology isn't too natural or sharp really.
