Nanometer

Viruses are tiny geometric structures that can only reproduce inside a living cell. They range in size from 20 to 250 nanometers (one nanometer is one billionth of a meter). Outside of a living cell, a virus is dormant, but once inside, it takes over the resources of the host cell ...

... problem here seems to be the use of "environment" as a global parameter, but changes in a molecule's environment can be just changes in nanometer-sized areas. Any variation in a thousand different environmental factors over tiny distances (or not-so-tiny distances) could affect the viability ...

... the size of the silver particle, the more likely it is to kill germs. Previously, the smallest silver particle preparations were between 14 and 26 nanometers. (A nanometer is one billionth of a meter.) But more recently, many natural medicine clinics and physicians have been working with a preparation ...
