Zombie Waldo -Terrilee Hodroj Check the link, trolls. Department of Energy. Now, go and debunk them and leave us alone. Were not the ones researching and developing this technology. Zombie Replicants to Outperform the Living “Zombie” mammalian cells that may function better after they die have been created by researchers at Sandia National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico (UNM). The first stage of the zombie cell only moderately heated, the cell is now pure silica and needed a gold coating for a scanning electron microscope to image it. ;) The construction process is relatively simple: Take some free-floating mammalian cells, put them in a petri dish and add silicic acid. The silicic acid, for reasons still partially unclear, enters without clogging and in effect embalms every organelle in the cell from the micro- to the nanometer scale. The silica forms a kind of permeable armor around the protein of the living cell, allowing researchers to use the cell as a catalyst at temperatures and pressures undreamed of by nature. By heating the silica to relatively low heat (400 C), the organic material of the cell — its protein — evaporates and leaves the silica in a kind of three-dimensional Madame Tussauds wax replica of a formerly living being. Such materials would have substantial utility in fuel cells, decontamination and sensor technologies. energy.gov/articles/zombie-replicants-outperform-living -- Dont you just love Waldo? :P By heating the silica to relatively low heat (400 C), the organic material of the cell — its protein — evaporates The silica forms a kind of permeable armor around the protein of the living cel A reversing of these two methods leaves us with what? Micro-, Nano- Encapsulation Technology. ;) ______________
