This material has the advantages of both living cells and and inanimate materials Scientists from the USA have created a hybrid material from living bacteria with gold nanoparticles and quantum dots, reported in an article published in the scientific journal Nature Materials. According to experts, this material has the benefits of both living cells and non-living materials – can conduct electricity and emit light. As an object for the experiment, the researchers chose E. coli, which forms a biofilm capable of capturing inanimate objects. On the Based on such a biofilm, scientists managed to create material that included both fibers from living cells and inorganic materials.
