    Sorry, but I think there's a missing puzzle piece here. Ingesting electrons for energy I have no problem with. But where is the building material coming from, with which to grow and divide? They must be absorbing molecules from their surroundings for this purpose, at the very least.

    Apognophos; right!, with electrons it is good to have a few protons in your diet, at least while you are in the growing stage.

    I wonder if this can lead to the development of cyborgs that would be able to sustain their biological parts with pure energy?

    The real BORG may not be too far off in the future if that is the case lol.
