Zombie cells may outperform live ones
13 February, 2013‘Zombie’ mammalian cells that may function better as catalysts and conductors after they die have been created. A simple technique coats a cell with a silica solution to form a near-perfect replica of its structure. The process may simplify a wide variety of commercial fabrication processes from the nano- to macroscale.
