As usual, Geb manufacturers have blatantly violated interplanetary patent law and infringed on well-established Castrovelian Formian intellectual property.

Oh god, nature is awesome.
Also, terrifying.
So... I'm not really sure what exactly the 'zombie' cells do.
From what I read, it seemed like they were maybe better versions of fossil fuel and cleaning agents? Can someone help my lack of reading comprehension? They talked about being able to control how cells develop, but they also mentioned decreasing electrical resistance... so... what?
Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
Also, fungi are frightening.
The problem is the implication that they can take a person, say one cloned somewhere, "zombify" that person into being a "customized laborer" or simply as an upgraded version of the "thermal generator people" in the Matrix.
But, I mean, why does having a silicone-substance inverse-copy of a cell create a cell that's "more effective" than it's original? What, precisely, is happening?
I mean, I checked the link from the article (it goes to energy.gov), but that really didn't help.
From what I'm guessing based off of multiple re-reads, this basically just allows us to clone/recreate new/individual cells to create new identical copies (I suppose for cellular replacement therapy?*).
While this is great, this becomes a tremendous case of misnaming things in order to create excitement but ultimately pulls out confusion.
If that's not what's going on, I'm still really confused as to what, precisely, is going on here.
* NOTE: I could see the utility in taking chemically altered substances, such as fossile fuel, and shoving them right back into their pre-burned state, and thus grant us more energy stuff, but this, again, has nothing to do with zombification(pick any of the alternate defintions: it doesn't mesh), unless I'm really missing something.
Could lead to replacing people with 'company property' ... say, certain types of android ...
Holy. S*!$.
Humanity is doomed. DOOMED!!!
