Summary:
- Japanese scientists have created a hybrid cell that combines plant and animal cells, allowing it to produce its own energy from sunlight through photosynthesis.
- The hybrid cell, called a cyborg cell, contains chloroplasts from plant cells which can convert sunlight into chemical energy, and animal cells that provide the necessary structure and metabolism.
- This breakthrough could lead to the development of self-sustaining "cyborg cells" that can be used for various applications, such as powering small devices or producing valuable chemicals and fuels.
