Researchers Recreate Bacterial Properties to Shape Synthetic Materials

All living cells are essentially soft and squishy balloons containing DNA, proteins, and a large amount of water. These cells are surrounded by oily membranes, which can withstand considerable amounts of stress like bending, stretching, and squeezing. It was only recently that researchers have started to understand the functions and organization resulting from that stress.
