Cloaking device: Yeast cells were coated with a uniformly thin (about 100 nm) and continuous layer of biocompatible silica through a layer‐by‐layer chemical modification approach (see picture). Such a silica nanoshell forms an extracellular shield that endows these cells with enhanced defense against high temperature without significantly compromising cell viability.
