This accomplishment is another step towards chemical systems that more realistically mimic life. 'Imagine mixing two liquids together, like ink and water. They will automatically do the simple chemical process of dispersing until they are perfectly mixed,' said Professor Shuichi Hiraoka of the University of Tokyo.
