Nanoengines serve as motors for nanoparticle delivery systems.

The speaker was Chinese and not British or German, however, and had an overbearing accent.<br><br>These DNA "pistons" will NOT appear in car engines or even anything larger than the smallest viruses.

Their messages—that this will go in European engines, will make for smoother engines, will appear in lawnmowers, and will walk dogs—are, in fact, based on the sarcastic assumption that these DNA pistons can replace conventional pistons. I wholly believe your argument that these commentors have created super-duper-verbally-ironic statements by not seriously considering possible macro uses of the pistons first, then creating additionally sarcastic statements about the utility of pistons which they have not actually thought usable.<br><br>P.S.
