We found that when a microlitre of the rain specimen was heated in a specially-made pressure chamber, the cells replicated several folds at 300 degrees Celsius. We are waiting to publish this in a scientific journal and get it peer-reviewed,’’ said Dr Godfrey Louis, professor and head of the university’s department of physics.
