The researchers used one of the world's largest and fastest computers to simulate all the atoms in a satellite virus and a small drop of water surrounding it. All together, the virus and water droplet contained more than a million atoms. Because of the enormous computing power involved, the virus was brought to digital life for a very brief period of time, only 50 nanoseconds.
The achievement is a big first step in "test flying" living organisms, said study team member Klaus Schulten, a physicist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, but it could still be a long time before scientists can simulate a digital dog wagging its tail.

Does it sound like that might be a little risky? or have I watched too much Star Trek?.. which I certainly Have.
